Let me tell you how the French seduce you. They are the most bloody seductive people on Earth. They are charming, they are well-mannered and they praise and flatter you.

Business is not a financial science…it’s about creating a product or service so good that people pay for it.

Look at the Quakers - they were excellent business people that never lied, never stole; they cared for their employees and the community which gave them the wealth. They never took more money out than they put back in.

I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses, made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently... This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.

If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.

If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.
