Motivational Quotes
Business
Don't forget until too late that the business of life is not business, but living.
Best Quotes about Business
I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.
John Cleese
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
Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight.
Luce, Henry
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
Galvin, Robert
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
Men who do things without being told draw the most wages.
Stuart, Edwin H.
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
You can't run a business without taking risks.
Drexler, Millard
You generally hear that what a man doesn't know doesn't hurt him, but in business what a man doesn't know does hurt.
Lewis, E. St. Elmo
Treat employees like partners, and they act like partners.
Allen, Fred A.
Business is more exciting than any game.
Beaverbrook, Lord
The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.
Peters, Thomas J.
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
Ritz, Cesar
Every man is a consumer and ought to be a producer.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.
Grove, Andrew
There's a lot more business out there in small town America than I ever dreamed of.
Walton, Sam
In a start-up company, you basically throw out all assumptions every three weeks.
Mcnealy, Scott
A man's success in business today turns upon his power of getting people to believe he has something that they want.
Lee, Gerald Stanley
The poor man who enters into a partnership with one who is rich makes a risky venture.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
It's the economy, stupid.
Clinton, Bill
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
The selfish spirit of commerce, which knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain.
Jefferson, Thomas
I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money.
Beene, Geoffrey
Cut your losses and let your profits run.
Proverb, American
It is almost as difficult to keep a first class person in a fourth class job, as it is to keep a fourth class person in a first class job.
Dunn, Paul H.
You never really hear the truth from your subordinates until after 10 in the evening.
Jurgen Schrempp
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
One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don't share ideas.
O'Reilly, Anthony J. F.
Get the best people and train them well.
Merrill, Charles
You read a book from beginning to end. You run a business the opposite way. You start with the end, and then you do everything you must to reach it.
Ceo, Harold Geneen
In business, words are words; explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.
Geneen, Harold S.
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.
David Letterman
Make every decision as if you owned the whole company.
Townsend, Robert
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
If each of us hires people smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs.
Ogilvy, David
The commercial class has always mistrusted verbal brilliancy and wit, deeming such qualities, perhaps with some justice, frivolous and unprofitable.
Nevill, Dorothy
It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
Buffett, Warren
You can't run a business or anything else on a theory.
Geneen, Harold S.
My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's.
Oscar Wilde
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
Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.
Kiam, Victor
Drive your business, let not your business drive you.
Franklin, Benjamin
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
Buffett, Warren
Concentrate your strengths against your competitor's relative weaknesses.
Henderson, Bruce
The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.
Onassis, Aristotle
Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excommunicated, for they have no souls.
Coke, Sir Edward
Get me inside any boardroom and I'll get any decision I want.
Bond, Alan
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.
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Maurois, Andre
