Frank Perdue Quotations

It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.

If you do this, you're going to have some heartaches from it. You're going to have people yelling at you or maybe screaming at you or criticizing you, but I think it's the best way to sell a superior chicken.

Baseball was a dream I gathered more splinters than hits.

I never liked filming the ads, but they were so well received.

It was quite a shock to my nervous system because I'd never been in a school play or anything and I'm basically reticent about speaking in public.

I have twice unsuccessfully sought help from Paul Castellano to put down union activities, these actions I regret deeply.

No one ever complained their way to the top.

A business that doesn’t change is a business that is going to die.

Market share is king. You cannot afford to replace lost market share.

Quality is the one absolutely necessary ingredient of all the most successful companies in the world.

In your 20s, you learn. In your 30s, you earn.

Find out what the customer wants and then make it better.

If the quality is there, the consumer will want it, buy it and pay for it.

If you can differentiate a dead chicken, you can differentiate anything.

I can’t tell by looking in your eyes whether you’re a priest or a crook.

If you believe in unlimited quality and act in all your business dealings with total integrity, the rest will take care of itself.
