Jack Welch

"I actually think that the economy has got some positives. It's got the market. It's got consumer confidence and it's got banks throwing - I mean central bankers throwing money at it around the world."

"I was afraid of the internet... because I couldn't type."

"I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success."

"Number one, cash is king... number two, communicate... number three, buy or bury the competition."

"The Internet is the Viagra of big business."

"The team with the best players wins."

"What's important at the grocery store is just as important in engines or medical systems. If the customer isn't satisfied, if the stuff is getting stale, if the shelf isn't right, or if the offerings aren't right, it's the same thing. You manage it like a small organization. You don't get hung up on zeros."

"You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range, and delivering a long-range plan, and executing on that."
