Business Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Business

1.
Forty for you, sixty for me And equal partners we will be
Barzan, Gerald

2.
Drive thy business or it will drive thee.
Benjamin Franklin

3.
Far too many executives have become more concerned with the four P's -- pay, perks, power and prestige -- rather than making profits for shareholders.
Pickens, T. Boone

4.
Business is never so healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching around for what it gets.
Ford, Henry

5.
Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

6.
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
Manzi, Jim

7.
My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's.
Oscar Wilde

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

9.
One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don't share ideas.
O'Reilly, Anthony J. F.

10.
It's the economy, stupid.
Clinton, Bill

11.
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
Blake, William

12.
There's a lot more business out there in small town America than I ever dreamed of.
Walton, Sam

13.
Show me the business man or institution not guided by sentiment and service; by the idea that he profits most who serves best and I will show you a man or an outfit that is dead or dying.
Harris, B. F.

14.
Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
Warhol, Andy

15.
Concentrate your strengths against your competitor's relative weaknesses.
Henderson, Bruce

16.
Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.
Grove, Andrew

17.
The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.
Gilbey, Walter

18.
It's better to take over and build upon an existing business than to start a new one.
Geneen, Harold S.

19.
It doesn't matter to me if a man is from Harvard or Sing Sing. We hire the man, not his history.
Ford, Henry

20.
Good design can't fix broken business models.
Jeffrey Veen

21.
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Kashoggi, Adnan

22.
It takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by -- Advertising, Initiative, and Dynamics.
Mulford Jr., Ren

23.
Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excommunicated, for they have no souls.
Coke, Sir Edward

24.
Nobody ever lost money taking a profit.
Baruch, Bernard M.

25.
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

26.
Anybody can cut prices, but it takes brains to produce a better article.
Armour, P. D.

27.
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.
David Letterman

28.
Business is like a wheelbarrow--it stands still until someone pushes it.

29.
Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.
Churchill, Winston

30.
Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change.
Wang, An

31.
What's good for the country is good for General Motors, and vice versa.
Wilson, Charles E.

32.
There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.
Walton, Sam

33.
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
Buffett, Warren

34.
Business has only two functions -- marketing and innovation.
Drucker, Peter F.

35.
Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. This can't be done, except by liars.
Baruch, Bernard M.

36.
If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart. It is as simple as that -- but that isn't simple.
Lundborg, Louis B.

37.
We are all manufacturers. Making good, making trouble, or making excuses.
Adolt, H. V.

38.
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

39.
The chief business of the American people is business.
Calvin Coolidge

40.
A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.
Herzen, Alexander

41.
If a fellow wants to be a nobody in the business world, let him neglect sending the mail man to somebody on his behalf.
Kettering, Charles F.

42.
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

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.
To succeed in business it is necessary to make others see things as you see them.
Patterson, John H.

45.
You don't hear things that are bad about your company unless you ask. It is easy to hear good tidings, but you have to scratch to get the bad news.
Watson, Thomas J.

46.
I don't want to do business with those who don't make a profit, because they can't give the best service.
Bristol, Lee

47.
If your advertising goes unnoticed, everything else is academic!
Bernbach, William

48.
Business, that's easily defined; it's other people's money.
Dumas, Alexandre

49.
Talk of nothing but business, and dispatch that business quickly.
Aldus Manutius

50.
