“The problem with Indians is that we have lost the habit of thinking big!”

A motivated manpower is the most important thing.

Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my expectation.

True entrepreneurship comes only from risk-taking.

My commitment is to produce at the cheapest price and the best quality.

You do not require an invitation to make profits.

There is no difference between our methods and those of anybody else-the only difference is that our motivation and dedication he is much greater.

I sincerely believe that Indians have the ability to compete with the best in the world.

Does making money excite me? No, but I have to make money for my shareholders. What excites me is achievement, doing something difficult.

Never. Till my last breath I will work. To retire there is only one place- the cremation ground.

My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.

Secret of my success was to have ambition and know minds of men.

You have to take the calculated risk, to earn something.

Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction. I believe that ambition and initiative will ultimately triumph.

I dream of India becoming a great economic superpower.

Our dreams have to be bigger. Our ambitions higher. Our commitment deeper. And our efforts greater. This is my dream for Reliance and for India.

You accuse me of black marketing, but which of you has not slept with me?

Please remember that your greatest talent is so much more powerful than your biggest fear.

A child has no trouble believing the unbelievable, nor does the genius or the madman. It’s only you and I, with our big brains and our tiny hearts, who doubt and overthink and hesitate.

The world is nothing but a big gimmick.

I don’t like to run. I don’t like to jump up and down. Being a big girl and having a bosom, I injure myself! It upsets me, I have to hold my two things. I just can’t jog, there’s something in the way.

We still believe in the America that is a land of opportunity and a beacon of freedom. We believe in the America that challenges each of us to be better and bigger than ourselves.

Actually, your past successes are your biggest obstacle: every battle, every war, is different, and you cannot assume that what worked before will work today.

In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley.

I’ve always kind of just had a big personality and a voice that I wanted heard.
