remembered
I'd like to be remembered as one who kept my priorities in the right order.
love nearly opportunity time
Nearly every moment of every day, we have the opportunity to give something to someone else - our time, our love, our resources.
airplane both brothers question
I lost two brothers in an airplane crash, both of them leaving a wife and kids. When I get to Heaven, that's probably the first question I'd like to ask: 'Why was it necessary?'
encouraged local members operators
I have always encouraged my restaurant operators and team members to give back to the local community.
life
We tell applicants, 'If you don't intend to be here for life, you needn't apply.'
cross
Why did the chicken cross the road? To prove to the possum that it could be done.
people witness
It's a silent witness to the Lord when people go into shopping malls, and everyone is bustling, and you see that Chick-fil-A is closed.
food people
The people are more important than the food. We want a person to be as successful as he can be, and it works the other way around, too.
days line needed seven took work
If it took seven days to make a living with a restaurant, then we needed to be in some other line of work.
brought low
I had a low image of myself because I was brought up in the deep Depression.
If you have debt, you have to worry about it. I would challenge each of you to try to be debt-free.
bought buy great
In the Great Depression, you bought something if you had the cash to buy it.
Chick-fil-A is what it is today because of its people, purpose and product.
compete people work
I have people say, 'I'll come to work for you for free,' and I tell my employees they have to compete with that.
