“I refused to even consider ordering less inventory. Grow or die, that’s what I believed, no matter the situation.”

“Starting my own business was the only thing that made life’s other risks—marriage, Vegas, alligator wrestling—seem like sure things. But my hope was that when I failed, if I failed, I’d fail quickly, so I’d have enough time, enough years, to implement all the hard-won lessons. I wasn’t much for setting goals, but this goal kept flashing through my mind every day, until it became my internal chant: Fail fast.”
― Phil Knight, Shoe Dog

“Life is growth. You grow or you die.”

“The cowards never started and the weak died along the way. That leaves us, ladies and gentlemen. Us.”
