Mukesh Ambani - Ambition - Change - Partnership - Business Growth

As long as we place millions of Indians at the canter of our thought process, as long as we think of their welfare, their future, their opportunities for self realization we are on the right track.

Our purchasing power, our economic strength, our marketplace all depends on the prosperity of our people.
Mukesh Ambani - Growth - Change - Economy - Encouragement

If they succeed to do that, no doubt, in the next generation it will be the major area of the world, economically.
Bernard Arnault - Globalization - China - Success - World - Economy - Challenges - Change - Growth

If we are going to carry on growing, and we will, because no country is going to forfeit its right to economic growth, we have to find a way of doing it sustainably.
Tony Blair - Environmental - Economy - Growth

I'm a big believer in growth. Life is not about achievement, it's about learning and growth, and developing qualities like compassion, patience, perseverance, love, and joy, and so forth. And so if that is the case, then I think our goals should include something which stretches us.
Jack Canfield - Learning - Goals - Belief - Growth - Achievement - Compassion - Persistence - Patience - Love

We started Yahoo in about April 1994. It started out as a way for us to keep track of things that we were interested in.
David Filo - Growth - Internet

First of all we had very few users. We might have had a hundred accesses a day. So there was really no demand from the users to add their own links. Things changed over time though as our access rates doubled every month. Through word of mouth on the Net more and more people began using it.
David Filo - Growth - Marketing - Internet

A customer is the most important visitor on our premises, he is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him. He is doing us a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.
Mahatma Gandhi - Customers - Improvement - Business - Work - Opportunities

Carbon capture and storage, its commercial development.. is going to be the key to the future of coal. If it is successful commercially, then the Australian coal sector will be a center of prosperity and growth; if it’s not successful then it won’t be. I think in the long run it’s as simple as that.
Ross Garnaut - Emissions - Fossil Fuel - Wealth - Carbon - Carbon Capture - Coal - Australia - Growth - Prosperity - Greenhouse

Carlos Slim Helu - Technology - Internet - Growth - American

The faster we grew, the more stores we had open, the more money we made. Employees move quickly up the ranks of a company that's growing fast. Shareholders made a lot of money. If you invested $25,000 from January 1987 to January 1994, you'd have more than a million dollars. I get a lot of personal satisfaction from that.
Wayne Huizenga - Growth - Employee - Money - Stocks - Companies

Our philosophy has been to be fiscally conservative, so we can be operationally aggressive. We're not using borrowed money to grow. So we'll put up a store just to get there before the competition. If it doesn't work, we'll close it and lose a little equity. It won't kill us.
Wayne Huizenga - Growth - Money - Competition

We're looking for something where we can make something happen: an industry where the competition is asleep, hasn't taken advantage. It's going to be hard to find another Blockbuster, but that doesn't mean you can't have three good companies growing. The point is, we're going to be busy.
Wayne Huizenga - Growth - Companies - Competition

For equity markets, the combination of low interest rates, strong economic growth and low inflation has proved very beneficial, with global share markets rising solidly in each of the past three years. This has been underpinned by strong growth in profits so that, notwithstanding the rise in share prices, P/E ratios have been declining on average.
Ian Macfarlane - Growth - Economy - Stock Market - Profits

For years I have made the point that progress in winding back economic slack is made not by high growth in any individual year, but by maintaining an expansion over a sustained period.

Rupert Murdoch - Climate Change - Carbon - Growth - Ambition

Bob Proctor - Money - Creativity - Growth

We still have a great amount of work to do in social development, including resolving one of the biggest challenges we face in this area, namely, reducing the gap between high-income earners and people, citizens of our country, who are still living on very modest means indeed. But we cannot, of course, adopt the solution used 80 years ago and simply confiscate the riches of some to redistribute among others. We will use completely different means to resolve this problem, namely, we will ensure good economic growth.
Vladimir Putin - Society - Russia - Challenges - Solutions - Problems - Rich - Economy - Growth

Of all the things that can have an effect on your future, I believe personal growth is the greatest. We can talk about sales growth, profit growth, asset growth, but all of this probably will not happen without personal growth.
Jim Rohn - Self Help - Growth - Profits - Assets

It's a mistake to predict the size of markets that are so new. This model has shown no signs of slowing down. So we are going to get as much of it as we possibly can, and when we get close to that we'll figure out other problems.
Eric Schmidt - Internet - Growth

We are taking an aggressive stance looking at the future of Percept, not just in numbers, but in terms of market share and size. The challenge is to continuously sustain our growth on a year-on-year basis. The 2010 figure of US$1 billion is just a benchmark figure. Looking at the market opportunities and our strengths, I am sure we will be well past this figure, come 2010.
Harindra Singh - Growth - Ambition - Strength - Challenges

If we are not careful, capitalism will self-destruct. We will destroy it as the companies have no conscience and do not really compete. They are so big they can't go broke, so they simply acquire everything.
Dick Smith - Capitalism - Growth - Companies

Marx was right when he said capitalism would destroy itself as capitalist would eat capitalist until they became so big they could not compete.
Dick Smith - Capitalism - Growth - Competition

One hundred years from now, I expect the Tatas to be much bigger than it is now. More importantly, I hope the Group comes to be regarded as being the best in India.. best in the manner in which we operate, best in the products we deliver, and best in our value systems and ethics. Having said that, I hope that a hundred years from now we will spread our wings far beyond India.
Ratan Tata - India - Best - Products - Ethics - Growth - Inspirational

Ratan Tata - India - Growth - Proud - Opportunity - Great - Wealth

The country is now universally recognised as a nation on the move and takes its place amongst the successful economies in the region. The future potential is enormous but the country's destiny is in our hands. The time has come to move from small increments to bold, large initiatives. The time has come to stretch the envelope and set goals which were earlier not seen to be possible. The time has come for performance to be measured and for allocated funds of the government to reach the people for whom they were intended.
Ratan Tata - India - Growth - Inspirational - Wealth - Success - Economy - Goals - Potential - Government

Meg Whitman - Small Business - Companies - Growth - Finance - Taxes - Jobs
