Donald Trump

I’ve had a beautiful, I’ve had a flawless campaign. You’ll be writing books about this campaign.

I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen, down on 7-11, down at the World Trade Center, right after it came down

We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

I always look at it that I work with my employees as opposed to them working for me.

You must work on improving your skills every day and never quit.

In a lot of ways it is easier to do things on a large scale. It is easier to build a skyscraper in Manhattan than it is to buy a bungalow in the Bronx. For one thing, it takes just as much time to close a big deal as it does to close a small deal. You will endure as much stress and aggravation; you will have all the same headaches and problems. It is easier to finance a big deal. Bankers would much rather lend money for a big project than for a small one. They are more comfortable investing money in a big prestigious building than they are a rundown house in a bad section of town. If you succeed with the big project, you stand to gain a lot more money.

We started learning ourselves, understanding ourselves, reading, researching, going around the world and looking at what was defined as the very best.

Change is vital, improvement the logical form of change.

I do not believe in excuses. I believe in hard work as the prime solvent of life’s problems.

I myself never make any notes. Usually, if I write something down, I can’t read it afterwards.

If it doesn’t sell, it isn’t creative.

I will build a motor car for the great multitude – constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. So low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one-and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God’s great open spaces.

It took only 10 minutes to do Chelsea deal with Roman Abramovich but I had to Google him first … I wasn’t sure if Jeremy Beadle was going to jump out.

Nobody’s ever called me Sir Richard. Occasionally in America, I hear people saying Sir Richard and think there’s some Shakespearean play taking place. But nowhere else anyway.

Getting permanent value out of a job means purpose and fitting means to ends.

I notice increasing reluctance on the part of marketing executives to use judgment; they are coming to rely too much on research, and they use it as a drunkard uses a lamp post for support, rather than for illumination.

Listen – it makes you sound smarter.

Courteous treatment will make a customer a walking advertisement.

Never write an advertisement which you wouldn’t want your own family to read. You wouldn’t tell lies to your own wife. Don’t tell them to mine. Do as you would be done by. If you tell lies about a product, you will be found out — either by the Government, which will prosecute you, or by the consumer, who will punish you by not buying your product a second time. Good products can be sold by honest advertising. If you don’t think the product is good, you have no business to be advertising it.

In New York and Los Angeles, you can throw your car keys to the valet and he parks it. Same in Hong Kong and Singapore, the service is off the scale. In London it’s sub-standard to abysmal.

London has got better as it’s become more international – you only have to look at the quality of the restaurants to see how improved it’s become.

A world where men ran half our homes and women ran half our institutions would be just a much better world.
