Colonel Sanders

I think a dream is just a suggestion to start something out, do something.

I’m against retiring. The thing that keeps a man alive is having something to do.

Colonel Sanders

I’ve got no idea when I am going to retire. Whenever they pick me up and take me to the funeral home, I guess.

Colonel Sanders

There’s no reason to be the richest man in the cemetery. You can’t do any business from there.

Colonel Sanders

There’s something inside of me that makes me want to help people, especially people who are having difficulty of some kind.

Colonel Sanders

A lot of learned men think people really are the food they’ve eaten.

Colonel Sanders

Feed the poor and get rich or feed the rich and get poor.

Colonel Sanders

I always hired widows with children, because they had to work and didn’t have any foolishness about them.
