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.

No one of us is more important than the rest of us.

It requires a certain kind of mind to see beauty in a hamburger bun.

It is no achievement to walk a tightrope laid flat on the floor.

If you believe in it, and you believe in it hard, it is impossible to fail.

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.

I HAVE ALWAYS believed that each man makes his own happiness and is responsible for his own problems.
