Going Public Is Not A Business Plan.

To Understand Kkr, I Always Like To Say, Don't Congratulate Us When We Buy A Company. Any Fool Can Buy A Company. Congratulate Us When We Sell It And When We've Done Something With It And Created Real Value.

But Once You Buy A Company, You Are Married. You Are Married To That Company.

If You Don't Have Integrity, You Have Nothing. You Can't Buy It. You Can Have All The Money In The World, But If You Are Not A Moral And Ethical Person, You Really Have Nothing.

If You Have Something At Risk, You Think Differently.

Going Public Is Not A Business Plan.
