Zitat des Tages von Herb Kelleher:
I forgive all personal weaknesses except egomania and pretension.
Wild Turkey whiskey and Philip Morris cigarettes are essential to the maintenance of human life!
It is my practice to try to understand how valuable something is by trying to imagine myself without it.
A company is stronger if it is bound by love rather than by fear.
I'd say my mother made more of a difference to me than anyone else did. I know that's a conventional and perhaps mundane answer, but my family was blown apart at the start of World War II.
I think my greatest moment in business was when the first Southwest airplane arrived after four years of litigation, and I walked up to it and I kissed that baby on the lips and I cried.
Power should be reserved for weightlifting and boats, and leadership really involves responsibility.
The spirit of Southwest Airlines is exuberant, it's caring, it's dedicated, it's diligent, it's fun, it's rewarding, it's a joy.
I've found that many of the greatest ideas surface in bars because that's where many people cultivate inspiration.
The people of Southwest have always been my pride, my joy and my love. Their indomitable dedication and esprit de corps have taken Southwest from a three-airplane dream to a 500-airplane reality.
