Martin Bouygues

Not everything is for sale; not everything is about money.

When I was young, I didn't like going to school, but I loved my dad. He was my professor.

I'm slow to make a decision. I need to think things over for a long time, to weigh the pros and cons, to look at issues 10, 20, or 30 times. But when that's done, I'm quick to act.

My successor may need to be more modern than I am. It's a question of generations.
