Quality brands never go bankrupt.
Richard Branson
Any idea can be a great idea if you think differently, dream big and commit to seeing it realized
Richard Branson
Life is a series of ups and clowns. Make it worth your wild!
Richard Branson
Fortunately we're not a public company - we're a private group of companies, and I can do what I want.
Richard Branson
Whatever you and your team decide your new brand will stand for, deliver on that promise. That's the only way you'll ever control your brand. And beware: brands always mean something. If you don't define what the brand means, your competitors will.
Richard Branson
Look, I think that when we started Virgin Atlantic 30 years ago, we had one 747 competing with the airlines that had an average of 300 planes each. Every single one of those have gone bankrupt because they didn't have customer service. They had might, but they didn't have customer service, so customer service is everything in the end.
Richard Branson
I don't live my life thinking about if only. I just try to think positively about the future. We'll never know for certain what would have happened if we'd gone to Iraq. The important thing is that we've got to do everything we can to prevent other wars.
Richard Branson
And if after all this you eventually fail don't take it personal. Don't be ashamed to start all over again.
Richard Branson
Space travel will be like every other business. There will be competitors. . . . Thirty months from now, I'm confident we'll be flying people into space.
Richard Branson
Listen to the customer's complaint and act fast.
Richard Branson

Richard Branson
I just like to enjoy life and push myself. Of course, there is method to my madness. When you are entering into a new industry, for example, it helps to do something to get your name on the front pages.
Richard Branson
It's really important to find an hour or two to a day to make sure that you keep healthy, keep fit. It's very easy just to forget that aspect. And if you're feeling really good and fit, I think you can get two or three extra hours a day of hard work in as well.
Richard Branson
Consider getting smaller in order to get bigger.
Richard Branson
Not enough people realize the satisfaction you can get from really pushing yourself to the limits.
Richard Branson
If you aim higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you dreamed.
Richard Branson
Remain focused on fulfilling your business mission. Never allow adversity divert your attention and efforts.
Richard Branson
Business is what concerns us. If you care about something enough to do something about it, you're in business
Richard Branson
And ever since then [I] have set up businesses basically out of frustration. I mean, I set up Virgin Atlantic with one second-hand 747 because I hated the experience of flying on other people's airlines. And I thought, you know, I could try to create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on. And people liked it.
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.
