Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking our world. And the urgent question of our time is whether we can make change our friend and not our enemy.
Japan is our rival, not our enemy. Japan is a competitor... Bashing a Toyota won't make a better car.
We learn our virtues from our friends who love us; our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.
We deal with our mind from morning till evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.
We don't want our customer to be advertising our name: we believe that the customer today is aware and wants to choose. Our signature is just a guarantee.
To love our enemy is impossible. The moment we understand our enemy, we feel compassion towards him/her, and he/she is no longer our enemy.
Customer expectations? Nonsense. No customer ever asked for the electric light, the pneumatic tire, the VCR, or the CD. All customer expectations are only what you and your competitor have led him to expect. He knows nothing else.
Dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.
Communications and commerce are global; investment is mobile; technology is almost magical; and ambition for a better life is now universal. We earn our livelihood in peaceful competition with people all across the earth. Profound and powerful forces are shaking and remaking our world, and the urgent question of our time is whether we can make change our friend and not our enemy.
To us, anyone who opposes dictatorship is our friend. Those who support it, our enemy.
We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.
Attitude: It is our best friend or our worst enemy.
Our limited mind is our enemy and our unlimited mind is our best friend. When you become a slave of the mind, it will limit you. When you use it, it will bring you the whole universe.
If you're competitor-focused, you have to wait until there is a competitor doing something. Being customer-focused allows you to be more pioneering.
We need American foreign policy that tells the world very clearly that it is bad to be our enemy and good to be our friend.
