Oscar Wilde

36.
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

37.
If you don't do it with excellence, don't do it at all! Because if it's not excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing there?
Townsend, Robert

38.
Our planning system was dynamite when we first put it in. The thinking was fresh; the form mattered little. It was idea oriented.

Gilbey, Walter

41.
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

42.
Far too many executives have become more concerned with the four P's -- pay, perks, power and prestige -- rather than making profits for shareholders.

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

46.
Don't steal; thou it never thus compete successfully in business. Cheat.
Bierce, Ambrose

47.
If you did not look after today's business then you might as well forget about tomorrow.
Mophatlane, Isaac

48.
Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. This can't be done, except by liars.
Baruch, Bernard M.

49.
Utility is our national shibboleth: the savior of the American businessman is fact and his uterine half-brother, statistics.
Dahlberg, Edward

50.
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
