I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

There is no such things as darkness, only a failure to see.

When I started Virgin from a basement flat in West London, I did not set out to build a business empire. I set out to create something I enjoyed that would pay the bills.
