The greatest astonishment of my life was the discovery that the man who does the work is not the man who gets rich

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

Do not think a man has done his full duty when he has performed the work assigned him. A man will never rise if he does only this. Promotion comes from exceptional work.

While the law [of competition] may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it insures the survival of the fittest in every department. We accept and welcome, therefore, as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment, the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few, and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial, but essential for the future progress of the race.

One great cause of failure of young men in business is lack of concentration.

I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.

Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.
