New Year, the season for changes in positions and advances in salaries, approaches. If you have in your employ some who deserve more salary, do not compel them to go through the unpleasant ordeal of asking a raise, but, rather, voluntarily increase their remuneration. A raise that comes from the boss without asking is worth a lot more than one that has to be gouged out of him. Is it not true that a great many employers who would not dream of overcharging their customers have no qualms whatever about underpaying their employees if the latter will submit without protest?

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

Difficulties should act as a tonic. They should spur us to greater exertion.

The man of fixed ingrained principles who has mapped out a straight course, and has the courage and self-control to adhere to it, does not find life complex. Complexities are all of our own making.

Success consists of being and doing, not simply accumulating.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

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