All money means to me is a pride in accomplishment.

There’s almost nothing you can’t accomplish if you set your mind to it.

Visions of McDonald's restaurants dotting crossroads all over the country paraded through my brain. I don't believe in saturation. We're thinking and talking worldwide.

There are things money can't buy and hard work can't win. One of them is happiness.

The french fry is my canvas.

Achievement must be made against the possibility of failure, against the risk of defeat. It is no achievement to walk a tightrope laid flat on the floor. Where there is no risk, there can be no pride in achievement and, consequently, no happiness. The only way we can advance is by going forward, individually and collectively, in the spirit of the pioneer. We must take the risks involved in our free enterprise system. This is the only way in the world to economic freedom. There is no other way.

You must perfect every fundamental of your business if you expect it to perform well.
