In some circles, Walmart has this reputation of being really tough. I would say we're tough on behalf of the customer, but we always try to be fair, and if you look at the financial results of our suppliers, they've done really well, and P&G still makes more money than Walmart does after all this time, so this has worked out well for everybody, but we do keep on the pressure on behalf of the customer.

Nothing can be made except by makers, nothing can be managed except by managers. Money cannot make anything and money cannot manage anything.

Paying good wages is not charity at all-it is the best kind of business.

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: make the best quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.
