"Im looking for a few good men... and women. Who arent afraid of hard work. Arent afraid to roll up their sleeves. Im looking for scrappers, hustlers, guys that are willing to roll up their sleeves. Theyre livin on drive, they got a little fire in their belly. I stand right here before you today, Im gonna offer you something as precious as gold. And you know what that is? Anybody? Anybody? Opportunity. Its opportunity. Opportunity. Opportunity to advance, to move forward, to move up, to advance... To succeed. To win. To step up. The skys the limit. The sky is the limit. Grab the brass ring. To give yourself a shot at the American dream. Put your arms around the American dream. Opportunity. Cause Ill tell ya somethin... At McDonalds? Its like this great nation of ours... Some of that elbow grease. I guarantee ya, if you got the guts... the gumption, the desire... I guarantee ya you can succeed. Theres gold to be had. At the end of... those Golden Arches... Golden Arches. Golden Arches. Now whos with me? Who wants to jump on that ladder to success? Be part of the McDonalds "mishpokhe". Now whos with me? Come on, lemme see some hands."

"Now, I know what youre thinkin. How the heck does a 52-year-old, over-the-hill milkshake-machine salesman... build a fast-food empire with 16,000 restaurants, in 50 states, in 5 foreign countries... with an annual revenue of in the neighborhood of $700,000,000.00... One word... PERSISTENCE. Nothing in this world can take the place of good old persistence. Talent wont. Nothings more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius wont. Unrecognized genius is practically a cliche. Education wont. Why the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful. ... Its these core principles... that enabled me to rise to the top of a heap... at a point in life when most men would be thinking about retirement. Why, we appear to have that in common, governer Reagan."
