And there is no use whatever, gentlemen, trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push any one up a ladder unless he be willing to climb a little himself.

I believe that the road to pre-eminent success in any line of work is to make yourself master of that line of work.

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to it.

Put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.

Success can be attained in any branch of labor. There’s always room at the top in every pursuit.

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.

There is very little success where there is very little laughter.
