Ray Kroc
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. I'll kill 'em, and I'm going to kill 'em before they kill me. You're talking about the American way - of survival of the fittest.
Ray Kroc

Ray Kroc
It requires a certain kind of mind to see beauty in a hamburger bun.

Or the arrangements and textures on a butterfly's wing? Not if you are a McDonalds's man.
