Ross Perot quotes:

If you see a snake, just kill it - don’t appoint a committee on snakes.

The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river.

Eagles don’t flock, you have to find them one at a time.

Spend a lot of time talking to customers face to face. You’d be amazed how many companies don’t listen to their customers.

Inventories can be managed, but people must be led.

Most new jobs won’t come from our biggest employers. They will come from our smallest. We’ve got to do everything we can to make entrepreneurial dreams a reality.

Failures are like skinned knees, painful but superficial.

Life is like a cobweb, not an organization chart.

If you can’t stand a little sacrifice and you can’t stand a trip across the desert with limited water, we’re never going to straighten this country out.

If someone is blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will?

He did give us the Clintons but he was spot on with his observations and evaluations of the politics of the time and the consequences. I remember Rush calling him the hand grenade with a crewcut.

Perot was a patriot and got his people out of Iran when it was necessary and without Carter's bumbling state department's help.
