I’d rather have a German shepherd bite me than a damn lawyer.

If you want to understand how to run a business, watch a dog chase a rabbit.

I was asked what I thought about the stock market. I said it was a good place to buy groceries.

I probably have traveled and sat on more uncomfortable chairs and driven more miles and eaten more bad food in more strange places than anybody else in the entire world.

I had no idea that I would be so successful. I honestly thought I was just doing my job.

Capitalism is the greatest thing that ever happened to mankind.

I learned a long time ago that you can't make up for a bad meal with a good dessert.

If you don't listen to your customers, they'll stop listening to you.

The more you give, the more you get back.

High expectations are the key to everything.

I have always been driven by the idea of doing things better than anybody else.

Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.

I had an advantage. I had no money.

You can't just keep doing what works one time, because everything around you is always changing.

Most everything I've done I've had to learn by trial and error.

I don't know what I would do without my wife. She's the best partner I could ever ask for.

I learned early on that I could make up for a lot of mistakes by just working harder.

The secret of successful retailing is to give your customers what they want.

I just kept on trying to do better.

I was never afraid to try new things.
