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

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.

The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled.

When I did big things, some large corporations like the Pennsylvania Railroad Company were behind me and responsible party.

Mr. Morgan buys his partners; I grow my own.

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

Wealth is not to feed our egos but to feed the hungry and to help people help themselves.
