- Lippmann, Walter

Best Quotes about Business

David Letterman

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

10.

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

11.

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

12.

Treat employees like partners, and they act like partners.

Allen, Fred A.

13.

Business is more exciting than any game.

Beaverbrook, Lord

14.

The consumer isn't a moron. She is your wife.

Ogilvy, David

15.

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

16.

21.

Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excommunicated, for they have no souls.

Coke, Sir Edward

22.

Never let an inventor run a company. You can never get him to stop tinkering and bring something to market.

Little, Royal

23.

The chief business of the American people is business.

Calvin Coolidge

24.

You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart.

Watson, Thomas J.

25.

The commercial class has always mistrusted verbal brilliancy and wit, deeming such qualities, perhaps with some justice, frivolous and unprofitable.

Nevill, Dorothy

26.

It's the economy, stupid.

Clinton, Bill

27.

Business has only two functions -- marketing and innovation.

Drucker, Peter F.

28.

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

29.

Business is not just doing deals; business is having great products, doing great engineering, and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally, business is a cobweb of human relationships.

Perot, H. Ross

30.

Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.

Manzi, Jim

31.

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

32.

A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes that he has got the biggest piece.

Erhard, Ludwig

33.

It is not the employer who pays wages -- he only handles the money. It is the product who pays the wages.

Ford, Henry

34.

The poor man who enters into a partnership with one who is rich makes a risky venture.

Plautus, Titus Maccius

35.

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

Morley, John

36.

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

Collins, Nathan

37.

The more business one has, the more you are able to accomplish, for you learn to economize your time.

Hale, Sir Matthew

38.

People will go right on preferring to do business with friends.

39.

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

Wilde, Oscar

40.

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

41.

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.
