More quotes by Richard Branson
I've used the Phoenix Centrifuge to replicate what the body's going to go through on the flight up. I've also done some gravity tests with ZERO-G [a charter-flight service in Arlington, Va., that uses modified Boeing 727s to simulate weightlessness], which went great.

We will be producing supersonic planes which will go far, far faster than Concordes. New York to Tokyo could be less than an hour. You could be traveling at 19,000 miles an hour orbitally.
Richard Branson
I will work day and night to avoid failure, but if I can't, I'll pick myself up the next day. The most important thing for entrepreneurs is not to be put off by failure.
Richard Branson
For a successful entrepreneur it can mean extreme wealth. But with extreme wealth comes extreme responsibility.

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 truly believe that capitalism was created to help people live better lives, but sadly over the years it has lost its way a bit. The short-term focus on profit has driven most businesses to forget about the important long-term role they have in taking care of people and the planet.
Richard Branson
I am passionate about many things but conserving our planet and its species is a high priority of mine.
Richard Branson
Screw it, just do it!

I want Virgin to be as well-known around the world as Coca-Cola.
Richard Branson
Building a business is not rocket science, it's about having a great idea and seeing it through with integrity.
Richard Branson
Embrace a mistake and learn from it don't regret them.
Richard Branson
Don't think what's the cheapest way to do it or what's the fastest way to do it. Think what's the most amazing way to do it.
Richard Branson
The idea that business is strictly a numbers affair has always struck me as preposterous. For one thing, I've never been particularly good at numbers, but I think I've done a reasonable job with feelings. And I'm convinced that it is feelings - and feelings alone - that account for the success of the Virgin brand in all of its myriad forms.
Richard Branson
Any successful entrepreneur knows that time is more valuable than money itself.
Richard Branson
People do not mind people who try things and fail. If you're a good entrepreneur, you're not going to succeed in every single thing you try. You've got to try to succeed at more things than fail.
Richard Branson
As people's access to the internet grows we're seeing the sharing economy boom - I think our obsession with ownership is at a tipping point and the sharing economy is part of the antidote for that.
Richard Branson
The extraordinary thing about the record industry is how success can take off without warning.
