Business Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Business

1.
A vacation should be just long enough that you're boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you.

2.
If you don't drive your business you will be driven out of business.
Forbes, B. C.

3.
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
Buffett, Warren

4.
In business for yourself, not by yourself.
Kroc, Ray

5.
In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing.
Young, Owen D.

6.
Concentrate your strengths against your competitor's relative weaknesses.
Henderson, Bruce

7.
The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not, as popularly supposed, alcoholism; it's egotism.
Geneen, Harold S.

8.
The selfish spirit of commerce, which knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain.
Jefferson, Thomas

9.
Business is like a wheelbarrow--it stands still until someone pushes it.

10.
A hard thing about business is minding your own

11.
Such is the brutalization of commercial ethics in this country that no one can feel anything more delicate than the velvet touch of a soft buck.
Chandler, Raymond

12.
In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman.
David M. Ogilvy

13.
Never write an advertisement which you wouldn't want your own family to read. You wouldn't tell lies to your own wife. Don't tell them to mine. Do as you would be done by. If you tell lies about a product, you will be found out -- either by the Government, which will prosecute you, or by the consumer, who will punish you by not buying your product a second time. Good products can be sold by honest advertising. If you don't think the product is good, you have no business to be advertising it.
Ogilvy, David

14.
Utility is our national shibboleth: the savior of the American businessman is fact and his uterine half-brother, statistics.
Dahlberg, Edward

15.
Don't worry about your physical shortcomings. I am no Greek god. Don't get too much sleep and don 't tell anybody your troubles. Appearances count: Get a sun lamp to keep you looking as though you have just come back from somewhere expensive: maintain an elegant address even if you have to live in the attic. Never nickel when short of cash. Borrow big, but always repay promptly.
Onassis, Aristotle

16.
The chief business of the American people is business.
Calvin Coolidge

17.
Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he's hired to do.
Forbes, Malcolm S.

18.
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
Galvin, Robert

19.
Let love give way to business; give attention to business and you will be safe.
Ovid

20.
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Franklin, Benjamin

21.
Compromise is usually bad. It should be a last resort. If two departments or divisions have a problem they can't solve and it comes up to you, listen to both sides and then pick one or the other. This places solid accountability on the winner to make it work. Condition your people to avoid compromise.
Townsend, Robert

22.
The more I know about business, the more IÆm convinced that it is conducted in homes and churches far more than in office buildings.
Laura Moncur

23.
You never really hear the truth from your subordinates until after 10 in the evening.
Jurgen Schrempp

24.
You don't want to get the same kind of advice from everyone on your board.
Cardenas, Ruben

25.
If each of us hires people smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs.
Ogilvy, David

26.
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

27.
I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money.
Beene, Geoffrey

28.
Business, that's easily defined; it's other people's money.
Dumas, Alexandre

29.
Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excommunicated, for they have no souls.
Coke, Sir Edward

30.
Goodwill is the one and only asset that competition cannot undersell or destroy.
Field, Marshall

31.
Business has only two functions -- marketing and innovation.
Drucker, Peter F.

32.
In a start-up company, you basically throw out all assumptions every three weeks.
Mcnealy, Scott

33.
A consumer is a shopper who is sore about something.
Coffin, Harold

34.
It doesn't matter to me if a man is from Harvard or Sing Sing. We hire the man, not his history.
Ford, Henry

35.
I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't.
Rothschild, Sir Nathan

36.
When two friends have a common bank account, one sings and the other weeps.
Proverb

37.
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

38.
Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. This can't be done, except by liars.
Baruch, Bernard M.

39.
It's better to take over and build upon an existing business than to start a new one.
Geneen, Harold S.

40.
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

41.
Corporation. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility.
Bierce, Ambrose

42.
Drive your business, let not your business drive you.
Franklin, Benjamin

43.
If you train people properly, they won't be able to tell a drill from the real thing. If anything, the real thing will be easier.
Marcinko, Richard

44.
The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.
Gilbey, Walter

45.
No sale is really complete until the product is worn out, and the customer is satisfied.
Bean, L.L.

46.
The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is TEST. If you pretest your product with consumers, and pretest your advertising, you will do well in the marketplace.
Ogilvy, David

47.
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!
Bovee, Christian Nevell

48.
The very best financial presentation is one that's well thought out and anticipates any questions... answering them in advance.
Collins, Nathan

49.
Location, location, location.
Dillard, William

50.
Industry is the soul of business and the keystone of prosperity.
Dickens, Charles
