I lost two brothers in an airplane crash, both of them leaving a wife and kids. When I get to Heaven, that's probably the first question I'd like to ask: 'Why was it necessary?'

Why would I retire from something I enjoy doing? I can hardly wait to get here.

You don't have to be a Christian to work at Chick-fil-A, but we ask you to base your business on biblical principles because they work.

Why did the chicken cross the road? To prove to the possum that it could be done.

We don't expect every operator to be Christian, but we tell them we do expect them to operate on Christian principles.

I motivate what I see in young people because we employ about forty thousand young people in our various Chick-fil-A units. Some of them come to work because they need to work; others just work because they just like to work. There's nothing wrong with that.
