Raymond Albert "Ray" Kroc was an American businessman of Czech origin. He joined McDonald's in 1954 and built it into the most successful fast food operation in the world. Kroc was included in Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century, and amassed a fortune during his lifetime. He owned the San Diego Padres baseball team from 1974 until his death in 1984. Similar to another fast-food giant, KFC founder Harland Sanders, Kroc's success came late in life when he was past his 50th birthday.
The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.
We provide food that customers love, day after day after day. People just want more of it.
You're only as good as the people you hire.
Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.
All money means to me is a pride in accomplishment.
