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

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.

Galvin, Robert

12.

So much for industry, my friends, and attention to one's own business; but to these we must add frugality if we would make our industry more certainly successful. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a grout at last.

Franklin, Benjamin

13.

Good design can't fix broken business models.

Jeffrey Veen

14.

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

John Cleese

17.

A dinner lubricates business.

Lord William Stowell

18.

Work is our business; it's success is God s.

Proverb, German

Adolt, H. V.

23.

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

24.

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

25.

Seth Godin

31.

You can hype a questionable product for a little while, but you'll never build an enduring business.

Kiam, Victor

32.

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

Jurgen Schrempp

33.

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

34.

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

Grove, Andrew

35.

The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.

Peters, Thomas J.
