Lee Iacocca No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished? Lee Iacocca One of the things the government can't do is run anything. The only things our government runs are the post office and the railroads, and both of them are bankrupt. Lee Iacocca People want economy and they will pay any price to get it. Lee Iacocca So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over.
