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

Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition.

There is no use whatsoever in trying to help people who do not help themselves.

Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.

You develop millionaires the way you mine gold. You expect to move tons of dirt to find an ounce of gold, but you don't go into the mine looking for the dirt-you go in looking for the gold.

It was from my own early experience that I decided there was no use to which money could be applied so productive of good to girls and boys who have good within them and ability and ambition to develop it as the founding of a public library.

All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.
