I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.

We shall prosper as we learn to do the common things of life in an uncommon way. Let down your buckets where you are.

Many strikes and similar disturbances might be avoided if the employers would cultivate the habit of getting nearer to their employees, of consulting and advising with them, and letting them feel that the interests of the two are the same.

There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.

You must understand the troubles of that man farthest down before you can help him.

The circumstances that surround a man's life are not important. How that man responds to those circumstances IS IMPORTANT. His response is the ultimate determining factor between success and failure.

Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon him, and to let him know that you trust him.
