Brave people don't live forever, but cautious people don't live at all.

When people warn me against doing something once my mind is made up, I grow increasingly determined to try it.

Avoid litigations. They are expensive and consume loads of time but if you have got a good case and a better chance of winning; then fight it out.

And ever since then [I] have set up businesses basically out of frustration. I mean, I set up Virgin Atlantic with one second-hand 747 because I hated the experience of flying on other people's airlines. And I thought, you know, I could try to create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on. And people liked it.

I have learnt more from my failures than my successes.

The best way forward is to give more people everywhere greater power to build their own destinies.

Being an entrepreneur simply means being someone who wants to make a difference to other people's lives.
