Richard Branson Trying Quotations

Through the right people focusing on the right things, we can, in time, get on top of a lot if not most of the problems of this world. And that's what a number of us are trying to do.

If you are trying to do something for the first time, it's always an enormous challenge, and there is no guarantee of success. If anybody can pull it off, it will be Steve.

Commitment is not letting people down. That's very important in life. If you say you're going to do something, make sure you do it. Just try never to let people down.

We have a business that some people feel pollutes, and I happen to agree with them. ... And so on the basis of trying to do good and, you know, hopefully turn a profit, what we did was we pledged that we'd put all the profits from our airline business into trying to develop clean fuels.

I am a believer in trying to treat people properly and trying to respond and making sure that I find the time to be courteous.

If you get into business solely to make money, you won’t. If you try to make a real difference, you’ll find success.

If you love what you do and if you believe in what you do, others will share your enthusiasm. Passionate people find their way to the Virgin Group, and when they do, we snap them up and try to keep them within the family.

Every success story is a tale of constant adaption, revision and change. A company that stands still will soon be forgotten. Trying to provoke positive change is a principle we've embedded across the Virgin family for more than four decades.

I decided there must be room for another airline when I spent two days trying to get through to People Express.

In a sense, when we started Virgin Atlantic, I was trying to create an airline for myself. If you try to build the perfect airline for yourself, it will be appreciated by others.

We've definitely cracked the technology. Now we're just trying to be able to produce the amount of fuels that we need to satisfy our own needs and then other people's needs.

First of all, if you're setting up a new company, you want to try to find a brand that can work on a global basis.

I have always believed that the only way to cope with a cash crisis is not to contract but to try to expand out of it.

When people warn me against doing something once my mind is made up, I grow increasingly determined to try it.

The brand is only as good as your products, so.. if people have a good experience on Virgin Atlantic or if they have a good experience on Virgin trains or.. if they have a Virgin mobile phone and they can get straight through to our people and they're well looked after and then they'll try the next product that we launch.

I am prepared to try anything once.

My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.

If you don't succeed at first, there's no need for the F word (Failure). Pick yourself up and try, try again.

Well, I'm somebody who is just living ...living life, and if I get frustrated by something, then I like to try to put it right.
