More quotes by Richard Branson
With space travel, [it's] no different. You know, in 1990 I read the name Virgin Galactic Airways. Loved the name. And set out to try to find an engineer or rocket scientist in the world who could build a safe, reusable rocket that could take people to and from space and we could start a whole new era of commercial space travel.

When you are starting a business or going down any challenging endeavor, you are bound to encounter challenges. You are going to hit many roadblocks and obstacles.

Richard Branson
There is no real difference between work and play - it’s all living.
Richard Branson
I definitely go on gut instinct but it has always had the back up of research and information.
Richard Branson
Unless you dream, nothing will happen. If you dream, you might be able to make your dreams come true.
Richard Branson
An exceptional company is the one that gets all the little details right.
Richard Branson
To be a great leader, you must be a great listener
Richard Branson
I learnt from an early age this need to delegate responsibility out to other team members as there is just too much for one person to do themselves. What is the point of hiring talented team members if you don't give them the freedom to make the most of the chance you have given them?
Richard Branson
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
On conflicts, generally speaking, the world is a hell of a lot better to live in today than it was thirty years ago, despite what's going on in Syria. There are definitely hopeful signs that the world is moving, decade by decade, in the right direction.
