Competition brings out the best in products and the worst in people.

I've always believed that competition is good for consumers and good for businesses.

Competition is not only the basis of protection to the consumer, but is the incentive to progress.

Consumerism is so weird. It's a sort of conspiracy we collude in. You'd think shoppers spending their hard-earned cash would be highly critical. You know that the manufacturers are trying to have you on.

There's no better friend to any merchant than a fair competitor.

If you think you know the consumer better than anyone, then you're in real trouble. So we take a close watch. You spend time in stores.

Everybody agrees that you want competition. But you have to have rules of fair competition if you want to have competitors to enter the market.

People buy products if they're better.

It's harder than ever to build an enduring company. As soon as a product strikes a nerve with customers, competitors emerge globally because the costs to start are so low.

Markets work when people can evaluate the prices and risks of different products, then pick the ones that work best for them. But when the terms of the deal are hidden, competition doesn't work. And customers aren't the only ones who are hurt.
