I see no conflict whatsoever between Christianity and good business practices. People say you can't mix business with religion. I say there's no other way.

I'm planning to be here forever, but I know at some point I'll probably have to give it up. If you live to 100, there's a very good chance you'll live forever. Because very few people die after 100.

We should be about more than just selling chicken: we should be a part of our customers' lives and the communities in which we serve.

If you have debt, you have to worry about it. I would challenge each of you to try to be debt-free.

I lost two brothers in an airplane crash, both of them leaving a wife and kids. When I get to Heaven, that's probably the first question I'd like to ask: 'Why was it necessary?'

I was not so committed to financial success that I was willing to abandon my principles and priorities. One of the most visible examples of this is our decision to close on Sunday.

I'd like to be remembered as one who kept my priorities in the right order.

It's a silent witness to the Lord when people go into shopping malls, and everyone is bustling, and you see that Chick-fil-A is closed.

In the Great Depression, you bought something if you had the cash to buy it.

I had a low image of myself because I was brought up in the deep Depression.

Chick-fil-A is what it is today because of its people, purpose and product.

If a man can't manage his own life, he can't manage a business.
