For too many of us ease is far more soul-destroying than trouble.

Life is beset by many annoyances, and those that stand out above all are the life- insurance and advertising agents.

... it is a lonely programme. The very virtues you cultivate become walls that inevitably separate you from your kind.... A new danger comes to your soul, and intolerance and impatience with those who are as you have been all but destroy that which you have taken such pains to build up. Not alone are there spiritual barriers between you and the friends that you have, but your business training has made your mind incisive. In the swift rush of business you have no time for small debates and petty dilemmas.

... the deep experience of the lonely climb on the mountain of success brings a wealth beyond power to compute. To you all suffering is understandable and your heart opens wide in sympathy.

When one is altering the face of the universe one cannot remember small helpful acts.

In business everyone is out to grab, to fight, to win. Either you are the under or the over dog. It is up to you to be on top.

I simply don't believe in failure. In itself, it doesn't exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail.
