A great quote makes you see its subject in a new way. Here are a few I find inspiring when it comes to business and marketing. Like many good quotes they apply to the bigger picture of life as well.
“We live in a world where the little things really do matter. Each encounter, no matter how brief, is a micro interaction which makes a deposit or withdrawl from our rational and emotional subconscious. The sum of these interactions and encounters adds up to how we feel about a particular product, brand or service. Little things. Feelings. They influence our everyday behaviors more than we realize.” – David Armano
“Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.” – Howard Aiken
“Insecure managers create complexity.” – GE CEO Jack Welch
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci
“Money doesn’t make people happy. People make people happy.” – Steve Wynn
“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.” – John Wanamaker
“Fail cheap. Fail fast. Fail often. Always make new mistakes.” – Esther Dyson

If I am not wrong, ““Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” is being attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. You might want to fix that.
Nice catch, Richard. I need to start double checking my sources. Thanks!
