Shark Tank | ABC

When it comes to business, the Shark Tank crew doesn't play around. From tech billionaire Mark Cuban to free-wheeling real-estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, all the investors on the popular ABC TV show are no-nonsense when it comes to evaluating the startups that come to them seeking money and mentorship.

That's why so many people love the show -- to the tune of 6.9 million weekly viewers. Not too shabby for a show that's been on air for six seasons.

At Entrepreneur, we've been equally obsessed with the show and its cast of entrepreneurs and investors. Here, we've collected 10 of the most insightful and inspiring quotes from our Shark Tank coverage over the years.

Get your hustle on.

Want to be a winner?

What are you waiting for? Get started already.

Don’t try to play your investors.

It's all about the freedom.

If you can’t stand the heat…

When making a first impression, be yourself and no one else.

You gotta get your hands dirty.

Encourage your kids to achieve their own greatness.

Fail. Learn. Grow.
