Business

I think it is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises -- but only performance is reality.
- Geneen, Harold S.
Business Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Business

1.
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Maurois, Andre

2.
Let love give way to business; give attention to business and you will be safe.
Ovid

3.
The right merchant is one who has the just average of faculties we call common sense; a man of a strong affinity for facts, who makes up his decision on what he has seen. He is thoroughly persuaded of the truths of arithmetic. There is always a reason, in the man, for his good or bad fortune in making money. Men talk as if there were some magic about this. He knows that all goes on the old road, pound for pound, cent for cent -- for every effect a perfect cause -- and that good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night.
Ford, Henry

5.
The simple opposition between the people and big business has disappeared because the people themselves have become so deeply involved in big business.
Lippmann, Walter

6.
To succeed as a team is to hold all of the members accountable for their expertise.
Mitchell Caplan

7.
I am the world's worst salesman, therefore, I must make it easy for people to buy.
Woolworth, F. W.

8.
In business partnerships and marriage partnerships, oh, the cheating that goes on.
Proverb, American

9.
The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.
Leavitt, Theodore

10.
HereÆs my theory about meetings and life; the three things you canÆt fake are erections, competence and creativity. ThatÆs why meetings become toxic they put uncreative people in a situation in which they have to be something they can never be. And the more effort they put into concealing their inabilities, the more toxic the meeting becomes. One of the most common creativity-faking tactics is when someone puts their hands in prayer position and conceals their mouth while they nod at you and say,'Mmmmmm. Interesting.'If pressed, theyÆll add,'IÆll have to get back to you on that.'Then they donÆt say anything else.
Douglas Coupland

11.
The selfish spirit of commerce, which knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain.
Jefferson, Thomas

12.
Nobody ever lost money taking a profit.
Baruch, Bernard M.

13.
A dinner lubricates business.
Lord William Stowell

14.
Well, I don't know as I want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do. I hire him to tell how to do what I want to do.
Morgan, John Pierpont

15.
Treat employees like partners, and they act like partners.
Allen, Fred A.

16.
Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.
Welch, John

17.
Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game, because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win. Setting your own standards--and living up to them--is a better way to profit. Not to mention a better way to make your day worth all the effort you put into it.
Seth Godin

18.
Frankly, I don't want to see a rapid upturn.I want it to hold until some of these idiotic competitors go bust.
Bamford, Joe

19.
My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's.
Oscar Wilde

20.
If you have lower than a ten percent turnover, there is a problem. And if you have higher than, say 20%, there is a problem.
Mcgovern, William

21.
People will go right on preferring to do business with friends.

22.
You can employ men and hire hands to work for you, but you must win their hearts to have them work with you.
Riorio

23.
A hard thing about business is minding your own

24.
As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth.
Hawken, Paul

25.
We are all manufacturers. Making good, making trouble, or making excuses.
Adolt, H. V.

26.
Every man is a consumer and ought to be a producer.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
Designing your product for monetization first, and people second will probably leave you with neither.
Tara Hunt

28.
The happiest time in a man's life is when he is in the red hot pursuit of a dollar with a reasonable prospect of overtaking it.
Billings, Josh

29.
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.
David Letterman

30.
What's good for the country is good for General Motors, and vice versa.
Wilson, Charles E.

31.
The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory.Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat.Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.
Handy, Charles

32.
Concentrate your strengths against your competitor's relative weaknesses.
Henderson, Bruce

33.
The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.
Onassis, Aristotle

34.
Good design can't fix broken business models.
Jeffrey Veen

35.
Make every decision as if you owned the whole company.
Townsend, Robert

36.
Quality, service, cleanliness, and value.
Ross, Steven J.

37.
Formerly when great fortunes were only made in war, war was business; but now when great fortunes are only made by business: Business is war!

If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
Branson, Richard

We have yet to see the full impact of the open, global marketplace. By 1997 all raw materials and technology will be available everywhere in the world. The only differences between countries and markets will be skill levels, education, and the level of empowerment of the workplace.
Pritchett, Lew
