Famous Kerry Packer Quotes about Business..
- If
a working class Englishman saw a bloke drive past in a
Rolls-Royce, he'd say to himself "Come the social
revolution and we'll take that away from you, mate".
Whereas if his American counterpart saw a bloke drive
past in a Cadillac he'd say "One day I'm going to
own one of those". To my way of thinking the first
attitude is wrong. The latter is right.
Kerry Packer Quote
- There
are two great moments in a man's life. One, when he buys
his first yacht. Second, when he sells the thing!
Kerry Packer Quote
- I
agree completely with my son James when he says 'Internet
is like electricity. The latter lights up everything,
while the former lights up knowledge'.
