a resource......you have to ask not what do they cost, but what
is the yield, what can they produce?

dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Thomas Carlyle
A man to carry on a successful business must
have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of
the whole thing.
Charles M Schwab
If you do a lot of things to build business,
you'll build business. They don't have to be done perfectly to
work, although the better you do them, the better they'll work.
But the main point is that you have to do them -- a lot.
Joe Girard

sight of a competitor who wants to wipe you off the map.
Wayne Calloway
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody
isn't thinking.

A market is never saturated with a good product,
but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

Bob Burg
It is awfully important to know what is and
what is not your business.
Gertrude Stein
I love the man that can smile in trouble,
that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.
'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart
is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue
his principles unto death.
Thomas Paine
The purpose of a business is to create and
keep customers.
Theodore Levitt
