Following are the excellent quotes for the Entrepreneurs from a Presentation I got from SlideShare

“Whatever you do, don’t play it safe. Don’t do things the way they’ve always been done. Don’t try to fit the system. If you do what’s expected of you, you’ll  never accomplish more than others expect.” - Howard Schultz, Starbucks.

“Take away my people, but leave my factories and soon grass will grow on the factory floors. Take away my factories, but leave my people and soon we will have a new and better factory.” -  Andrew Carnegie

Cheers - Ranjith
