Ray Kroc
Take calculated risks. Act boldly and thoughtfully. Be an agile company.

If any of my competitors were drowning, I'd stick a hose in their mouth and turn on the water. It is ridiculous to call this an industry. This is not. This is rat eat rat, dog eat dog.

It requires a certain kind of mind to see beauty in a hamburger bun. Yet is it any more unusual to find grace in the texture and softly carved silhouette of a bun than to reflect lovingly on the hackles of a fishing fly? Or the arrangements and textures on a butterfly's wing? Not if you are a McDonalds's man.
Ray Kroc
I believe in God, family, and McDonald's. And in the office, that order is reversed.
Ray Kroc
It is no achievement to walk a tightrope laid flat on the floor.
Ray Kroc
When you're green, your growing. When you're ripe, you rot.
