Quotable: Sir Richard Branson

It is only by being bold that you get anywhere.  If you are a risk-taker, then the art is to protect the downside.

My interest in life comes from setting myself apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.

My headmaster's parting words to me were: 'Congratulations, Branson. I predict that you will either go to prison or become a millionaire.'
