I'm hopeful that after Iraq, those in charge will think twice about taking us down that route again.

You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.

The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to.

If you look after your staff, they'll look after your customers. It's that simple.

Listen more than you talk. Nobody learned anything by hearing themselves speak.

Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.

If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes-then learn how to do it later!

Never take your eyes off the cash flow because it's the life blood of business.

If people aren't calling you crazy, you aren't thinking big enough.

A single moment of life has more miracles and worth than to live a whole life.

In the bush, trust no one you don't know.

I make it a rule always to believe compliments implicitly for five minutes, and to simmer gently for twenty more.

The trouble is that you think you have time.

Tis ever thus: indulgence spoils the base; Raising up pride, and lawless turbulence, Like noxious vapors from the fulsome marsh When morning shines upon it.

Government should steer, not row.

The more I learn about stuff the more conscious I become of grave gaps in my knowledge.

Stick with your own perception of yourself-living in your own world-and letting your reality, not the reality presented by other people or particular situations, control your performance.

The purer I try to become, the nearer I feel to be to God.

Do it or don't do it - you will regret both.
