👉 A friendship founded on business is better than a
business founded on friendship.
👉 Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the
great.
👉 Good leadership consists of showing average people
how to do the work of superior people.
👉 Good I do not think that there is any other quality
so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It
overcomes almost everything, even nature.
👉 I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with
head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an
opportunity to make a living.
👉 Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient
to become independent of it.
👉 And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each
time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which
will make us better.
👉 I was early taught to work as well as play, my life has been
one long happy holiday; full of work and full of play I dropped the worry on
the way and god was good to me every day.
👉 If your only goal is to become rich, you will
never achieve it.
👉 I have ways of making money that you know nothing
of.
👉 I always tried to turn every disaster into an
opportunity.
👉 Every right implies a responsibility; Every
opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.
👉 The ability to deal with people is as purchasable
a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for
any other under the sun.
👉 The most important thing for a young man is to
establish a credit… a reputation, character.
👉 Next to doing the right thing, the most
important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.
👉 Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure?
It’s to see my dividends coming in.
👉 I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered
living.
👉 The only question with wealth is, what do you do
with it?
👉 It is wrong to assume that men of immense wealth
are always happy.
👉 I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a
life devoted to pleasure.
👉 I would rather hire a man with enthusiasm, than a
man who knows everything.
👉 If you want to succeed you should strike out on
new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
👉 The secret to success is to do the common things
uncommonly well.
👉 Competition is a sin.
👉 After it is all over, the religion of man is his
most important possession.
👉 The way to make money is to buy when blood is
running in the streets.
👉 I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people’s efforts
than 100% of my own efforts.
