“There are many ways to run a successful company. What works once may never work again. What everyone tells you never to do may just work, once. There are no rules. You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over, and it's because you fall over that you learn to save yourself from falling over.
— Richard Branson
Founder of Virgin Group

“I am continually advising the organization not to compare present-day business with our past records - although it is a natural thing to do. We are doing much better business than we did last year. But to do a better business than we did last year really is not much of a credit to us. We must compare what we are doing today with our opportunities of today.
— Harvey S. Firestone
