Famous quotes by Lee Iacocca:
"Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people."
"Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen."
"The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen."
"You've got to say, ''I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it.'' It's called perseverance."
"So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late."
"The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen."
"In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product and profits. Unless you've got a good team, you can't do much with the other two."
"The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything"
"Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate with your employees, motivate them and reward them. If you do all those things effectively, you can't miss."
"If you want to make good use of your time, you've got to know what's most important and then give it all you've got."
"You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them across, your ideas won't get you anywhere."
"We've got to pause and ask ourselves: How much clean air do we need?"
