More quotes by Richard Branson
I personally don't believe anything is impossible. With enough determination and effort, almost everything is possible.
Richard Branson
I have enjoyed life a lot more by saying yes than by sayings no.

Everybody has a camera on their phone these days, everybody wants a selfie or a picture, and the moment one person starts taking a picture everybody congregates around so I've become quite a fast walker.

No matter where my travels take me, my day starts with a good work out, preferably kitesurfing or tennis. Exercise puts me in the right state of mind for the day. Dedicating time in the morning to exercise your body will make a big difference when you have to focus your mind on the day's work.

Enjoy life - you only get one.
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.
Richard Branson
Seek out strategic alliances they are essential to growth and provide resistance to bigger competition.
Richard Branson
Like getting into a bleeding competition with a blood bank.
Richard Branson
And from, you know, small ideas, bigger ideas emerge. So we're starting with suborbital space flights and we'll then go into orbital space flights and, you know, maybe one day we'll send people on a one-way voyage into the depths of space as per the science fiction trips.
Richard Branson
There are some nasty, nasty incidents taking place in the world, but [it's] much better than it used to be.
Richard Branson
As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation.
Richard Branson
Just start. You will learn so many lessons just by doing.
Richard Branson
The jet stream is a very strong force and pushing a balloon into it is like pushing up against a brick wall, but once we got into it, we found that, remarkably, the balloon went whatever speed the wind went.
