Quotes:

On Business

"Business does not have to be a zero-sum game. I believe we all come out ahead if we treat people the way we would like to be treated."

On Contracts

"I never ask anyone to sign something I would not be willing to sign myself. I save a lot of trouble that way."

On College

"I went to college out east."

Webmaster Note: Bob almost never admits to having graduated from MIT.
