I think that sometimes the difference between winning and losing, success and failure, is this gray line between will, passion and self-belief that says, 'I'm going to do this'.

A great business has to have a conscience. You have to know who you are and who you are not.

Believe in your dreams and dream big. And then after youve done that, dream bigger.

Everyone must have a shot at the American Dream.

Sometimes the difference between winning and losing is will. The will to make it happen.

I honestly never dreamed at the time that I would one day own the Starbucks and or be in a position where we would have more than 10,000 stores around the world. It has just been an incredible journey for all of us.

We will never-and I mean never-turn our backs on our employees.
