Business

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



Best Quotes about Business

1.
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

2.
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.

3.
A consumer is a shopper who is sore about something.
Coffin, Harold

4.
Our planning system was dynamite when we first put it in. The thinking was fresh; the form mattered little. It was idea oriented. We then hired a head of planning, and he hired two vice presidents, and then he hired a planner; and the books got thicker, and the printing more sophisticated, and the covers got harder, and the drawings got better.
Welch, John

5.
The five essential entrepreneurial skills for success: Concentration, Discrimination, Organization, Innovation and Communication
Gerber, Michael E.

6.
It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.
Wilde, Oscar

7.
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

8.
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

9.
What's good for the country is good for General Motors, and vice versa.
Wilson, Charles E.

10.
Anything that you do to increase job security automatically does work for you. It makes your employees a closer part of the unit.
Smith, Roger

11.
I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money.
Beene, Geoffrey

12.
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

13.
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

14.
In business, words are words; explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.
Geneen, Harold S.

15.
It doesn't matter to me if a man is from Harvard or Sing Sing. We hire the man, not his history.
Ford, Henry

16.
I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.
John Cleese

17.
Get the best people and train them well.
Merrill, Charles

18.
More business is lost every year through neglect than through any other cause.
Cathcart, Jim

19.
The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.
Onassis, Aristotle

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Every man is a consumer and ought to be a producer.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Business is more exciting than any game.
Beaverbrook, Lord

25.
The novice in advertising frequently gives the public credit, for too much intelligence.

26.
Few great men could pass personal.
Goodman, Paul

Hawken, Paul

28.
I've got to keep breathing. It'll be my worst business mistake if I don't.
Rothschild, Sir Nathan

29.
Don't steal; thou it never thus compete successfully in business. Cheat.
Bierce, Ambrose

30.
It is surprising, in the welter of questions that one gets at (AGMs), how few actually relate to the performance of the company, or the decisions taken by the board in particular areas.
Harvey-Jones, John

31.
You can't run a business or anything else on a theory.
Geneen, Harold S.

32.
Charge less, but charge. Otherwise, you will not be taken seriously, and you do your fellow artists no favours if you undercut the market.
Elizabeth Aston

33.
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.

34.
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.

35.
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

36.
The more I know about business, the more IÆm convinced that it is conducted in homes and churches far more than in office buildings.

Blessed is he who talks in circles, for he shall become a big wheel.
Dane, Frank

40.
Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change.
Wang, An

41.
The selfish spirit of commerce, which knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain.
Jefferson, Thomas

42.
What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it.
Dewolf, Nicholas

43.
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.

44.
The very best financial presentation is one that's well thought out and anticipates any questions... answering them in advance.
Collins, Nathan

The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without and to depart.

Maurois, Andre

47.
