I have always been driven to buck the system, to innovate, to take things beyond where they've been.

Share your profits with all your associates, and treat them as partners. In turn, they will treat you as a partner, and together you will all perform beyond your wildest expectations.

After a lifetime of swimming upstream, I am convinced that one of the real secrets to Wal-mart's phenomenal success has been that very tendency.

I had to get up everyday with my mind set on improving something.

A computer can tell you down to the dime what you've sold, but it can never tell you how much you could have sold.

If one of our customers comes into the store without a smile, I'll give them one of mine.
