If you look at the top 20 companies of the world, 19 of them are still brick-and-mortar companies. I have nothing against tech companies. What I am saying is that if you have a car manufacturer or an oil and gas manufacturer, you won’t get the supply over the Net. -- Anil Ambani

My view is to give everyone the space to grow in his own way. When you see restructuring or separations in a family [firm], value has almost always been destroyed. This is the first case where value has been enhanced. In that way it has been a win-win ending. -- Mukesh Ambani

Today I see a billion people as a billion potential consumers, an opportunity to generate value for them and to make a return for myself. -- Mukesh Ambani

If I'm setting up a new business I’ll spend three or four months learning everything there is about that business, everything there is about that subject and then I will find good people to run it on a day-to-day basis, but whilst they’re running it at least I know what they’re talking about when they come back to me. -- Richard Branson

Here’s my theory about meetings and life; the three things you can’t fake are erections, competence and creativity. That’s why meetings become toxic they put uncreative people in a situation in which they have to be something they can never be. And the more effort they put into concealing their inabilities, the more toxic the meeting becomes. One of the most common creativity-faking tactics is when someone puts their hands in prayer position and conceals their mouth while they nod at you and say, 'Mmmmmm. Interesting.' If pressed, they’ll add, 'I’ll have to get back to you on that.' Then they don’t say anything else. -- Douglas Coupland

The three pillars on which I believe any business success is based are: Persistence, Enthusiasm and Focus. -- Max Markson

Building on this foundation, the company structure becomes a life-force that supports the development of each division of business. -- Li Ka Shing

I used to be opposed to the idea of social entrepreneurship. I said let business be business, and philanthropy be philanthropy.

I was a human being before I became a businessman. -- George Soros

In China they say, 'The thinner the chopsticks, the higher the social status.' Of course, I got the thinnest I could find.....that's why people hate me. -- Martha Stewart

David and I and the rest of the Yahoos here really believe that the internet should remain as free as possible. At the same time we are a business and have fiscal responsibilities. -- Jerry Yang
