The surest foundation of a manufacturing concern is quality. After that, and a long way after, comes cost.

The more difficult a problem becomes, the more interesting it is.

I have had a long, long life full of troubles, but there is one curious fact about them-nine-tenths of them never happened.

The day is not far distant when the man who dies leaving behind him millions of available wealth, which was free for him to administer during life, will pass away unwept, unhonored, and unsung, no matter to what uses he leave the dross which he cannot take with him. Of such as these the public verdict will then be: The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced. Such, in my opinion, is the true gospel concerning wealth, obedience to which is destined some day to solve the problem of the rich and the poor.

The secret of success lies not in doing your own work, but in recognizing the right man to do it.

Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community.

I can't afford to pay them any other way.
