S. Truett Cathy

"If it is to be, it's up to me."
 

"No goal is too high if we climb with care and confidence."
 

"I have learned through more than 40 years of business experience these three keys to success that work for all people under every circumstance: You have to want to succeed. You have to develop know-how. Finally, you have to do it."
 

"Work is fun when we are doing what we like to do and performing at our best."
 

"Winners concentrate on winning. Losers concentrate on getting by."
 

"Is everybody happy? Yeah, man. H-A-P-P-Y!"
