The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.

He is a wise man who seeks by every legitimate means to make all the money he can honestly, for money can do so many worthwhile things in this world, not merely for one's self but for others. But he is an unmitigated fool who imagines for a moment that it is more important to make the money than to make it honestly. One of the advantages of possessing money is that it facilitates one's independence and mental attitude. The man head over heels in debt is more slave than independent.

Our future and our fate lie in our wills more than in our hands, for our hands are but the instruments of our wills.

How you start is important, but it is how you finish that counts. In the race for success, speed is less important than stamina. The sticker outlasts the sprinter.

Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles, satisfies. Don't put off the joy derivable from doing helpful, kindly things for others.

The be-all and end-all of life should not be to get rich, but to enrich the world.

Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.
