In the long run, whether you’re negotiating with vendors, or working in relationships with employees or customers you always get back what you are willing to give.

Love ‘em or otherwise, the Koch family has built an incredibly successful and financially rewarding business. “As CEO of Koch Industries, Inc., I am proud to work with principled people who help themselves by helping others improve their lives. I am dedicated to pursuing only a certain kind of profit—what we call ‘good profit’. …Good profit comes from making a contribution in society—not from corporate welfare or other ways of taking advantage of people.”—Good Profit, by Charles G. Koch. It’s an excellent book, well worth your time reading.

And in the end, love him or otherwise, Associate Supreme Court Justice, Anton Scalia will be remembered for his whit, his humor, his wisdom and his love and respect for his fellow jurists.
