The Capital river is frozen, but we can unthaw it. Bring private capital together with private enterprise, and we can end this recession and get the river of capital flowing again.

These are extremely trying times for our country. The recovery is going to be led by us via our private capital and our private enterprise. The government does not have a weapon in its repertoire that comes close to matching the power of our collective private resources.

You can look anyone in the eye when you can face yourself in the mirror.

Treasure doesn't have to be sought after...most of the time, it is right in front of your eyes, right under your feet. Recognize the everyday treasure that is your life.

What starts messy ends messy.

Small business will lead our recovery, but without access to capital, there is no recovery.
