A Quote by Sam Walton

I've always been driven to buck the system. — © Sam Walton
I've always been driven to buck the system.
I have always been driven to buck the system, to innovate, to take things beyond where they've been.
I've always thought of the project as a sort of sexually driven digestive system, that it was a consumer and a producer of matter. And it is desire driven, rather than driven by hunger or anything like that.
Vince McMahon - he's third generation, and his enormous empire, he ran it much like the territories. The buck stopped with him; he made the decisions. That's how a company should be run. Feast or famine, right or wrong, the WWE is driven off his decision making and always has been.
My whole life is driven by love. It always has been. It's never been driven by material things - which are just benefits of doing something I loved.
When I look at American history, I see how it has been driven by resistance and protest against a system that has been oppressive to not just Black people but to women, to members of the LGBTQ community.
The mania started with insomnia and not eating and being driven, driven to find an apartment, driven to see everybody, driven to do New York, driven to never shut up.
If Vin Scully calling a game is just as good in 2013 as he was in 1963, that's the way a game should sound. If Jack Buck were around today, I don't think anybody would ask him to change his style. My style has always been a little bit of a combination of old and new, if only because my frame of reference, personally, was different than that of Ernie Harwell or Jack Buck or Harry Caray. I was a younger guy. Just as Joe Buck's frame of reference is somewhat different from mine. But the nuts and bolts of how to call a ballgame well, I think remain the same.
A massive new penal system has emerged in the past few decades - a penal system unprecedented in world history. It is a system driven almost entirely by race and class.
We live in a technology-driven world so I want to ensure our educational system teaches in a technology-driven way.
I always said this and the people think it's a cute answer, but I say we have always been in the system and that's why we fight because we don't like the system. We are trying to transform it.
I think the market driven economic system is the most productive system, but to have that work in the world, you've got to also have social investments to go along with that.
I love the Bowl system. I've always been a proponent of the Bowl system. I think it's been great for college football, for this level.
My experience politically has always been that one-word definition of politics: money. Keep your eye on the buck. And that tells you where the American people are going to be.
I like Joe Buck. I know there's a big divide on people that like Joe Buck and people that don't like Joe Buck. But I love his cadence and tone and professionalism, and he's smart.
It's always hard for a guy who's been in a system for seven years and then to transition into another system.
I have always been driven. I have always believed in what I believe very deeply.
