The quality of business communications has become poorer in recent years as people avoid phone calls and face-to-face meetings, I can only assume, in some misguided quest for efficiency.

More quotes by Richard Branson
I set up this magazine called Student when I was 16, and I didn't do it to make money - I did it because I wanted to edit a magazine. There wasn't a national magazine run by students, for students. I didn't like the way I was being taught at school. I didn't like what was going on in the world, and I wanted to put it right.

We have the enormous opportunity in our hands to make a positive difference for business, people, and the planet.
Richard Branson
Breaking the rules and challenging convention is in the DNA of every successful entrepreneur.
Richard Branson
I've been in Africa, and I've been to hospitals of Africa, and they're not hospitals, they're places where people go to die. And rows and rows and rows of people just dying and the waiting rooms of the hospitals are full of people waiting to get into the beds of the people who died the night before, and they're dying from unnecessary diseases.
Richard Branson
Through the right people focusing on the right things, we can, in time, get on top of a lot if not most of the problems of this world. And that's what a number of us are trying to do.
Richard Branson
We all know about the big world conflicts: Israel and Palestine, Zimbabwe, and so on. But there are smaller conflicts that aren't even on the world's radar screen most of the world has no idea that Ethiopia invaded Somalia a year ago. It makes sense for the Elders to sit down with both sides and see whether leaders can come to an understanding.

I'm sure if Brawn GP keep plying me with champagne and putting gorgeous Virgin girls either side of me, you never know!
Richard Branson
I never learned the rules in the first place. To change the game is at the heart of what Virgin stands for, so the company culture has always been: Don't sweat it: rules were meant to be broken.
Richard Branson
Entrepreneursh ip is a great leveller, since having the benefit of a wealthy background or a generous investor isn't always an advantage. The wonderful thing is that money is not the sole currency when it comes to starting a business drive, determination, passion and hard work are all free and more valuable than a pot of cash.
Richard Branson
I want Virgin to be as well-known around the world as Coca-Cola.
Richard Branson
It always pays off to focus on things that will make you feel proud. Remember this during every difficult decision you face.
Richard Branson
I have always believed that the only way to cope with a cash crisis is not to contract but to try to expand out of it.
Richard Branson
Government and business must come together on the interlinked issues of conservation, economic development and renewable energy. There are literally thousands of businesses, many in the tourism industry, that depend on an intact marine environment for their long-term survival.
Richard Branson
Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won't make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa - and it's about getting a balance.
Richard Branson
I just think you need to spice up life every now and then with a bit of adventure and excitement.
Richard Branson
Having a good network can be invaluable. It opens doors for you and allows you to enter into opportunities that are beneficial to your business.
Richard Branson
Like getting into a bleeding competition with a blood bank.
Richard Branson
However tight things are, you still need to have the big picture at the forefront of your mind.
Richard Branson
Over the years I have found one of my best strengths is my ability to recognise talent and trust them.
Richard Branson
I never really felt secure until I was well into my 30s, because anytime I had success, I would invest in new projects.
