More quotes by Howard Schultz
Remember: You'll be left with an empty feeling if you hit the finish line alone. When you run a race as a team, though, you'll discover that much of the reward comes from hitting the tape together.

Howard Schultz
When we began Starbucks, what I wanted to try to do was to create a set of values, guiding principles, and culture.
Howard Schultz
We think of Starbucks not as a coffee company but a media company.
Howard Schultz

Howard Schultz
Sports was a great equalizer. It didn't have color. It didn't matter whether you were rich or poor, black or white. It really shaped me in many ways to be able to deal with a lot of different personalities and different cultures. Sports were the common thread.
Howard Schultz
But when you really believe-in yourself, in your dream-you just have to do everything you possibly can to take control and make your vision a reality. No great achievement happens by luck.
Howard Schultz
Sometimes the difference between winning and losing is will. The will to make it happen.

You walk into a retail store, whatever it is, and if there's a sense of entertainment and excitement and electricity, you wanna be there.
Howard Schultz
Don't buy preground coffee.
