There is no way of making a business successful that can vie with the policy of promoting those who render exceptional service.

When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make lemonade.

The man of business knows that only by years of patient, unremitting attention to affairs can he earn his reward, which is the result, not of chance, but of well-devised means for the attainment of ends.

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.

I choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves.

The older I get the less I listen to what people say and the more I look at what they do.

Anything in life worth having is worth working for.
