Humanities education is the worst thing for an industrialist.

Mutual ignorance breeds mutual distrust.

I spent the first half of my life making money and the second half of my life giving it away to do the most good and the least harm.

Take away my people, but leave my factories and soon grass will grow on the factory floors......Take away my factories, but leave my people and soon we will have a new and better factory.

Give me a man with an average ability but a burning desire to succeed and I will give you a winner in exchange every time.

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

Watch the costs and the profits will take care of themselves.
