"We wanted to have people who knew how to start and run businesses. There was nothing to be learned at any business school in learning how accounting worked...Those were things that you hire people to do."

I'm sure the fact that Salomon Brothers refusing to invest in the first Sequoia Fund specifically because Don didn't have an MBA [from Harvard] was also a significant factor in this decision. Thanks @AcquiredFM for the great episode on this! acquired.fm/episodes/sequo…

He was an investor in a couple of my Dad's companies. A great man.

"The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling."
