We have reached in this country an amazing degree of general prosperity, with American business on the whole no longer facing an uphill climb.

I am not a believer in large salaries. I hold that every man should be paid for personal production. Our big men at Bethlehem seldom get salaries of over one hundred dollars a week; but all of them receive bonuses computed entirely on the efficiencies and the economies registered in their departments.

Young men may enjoy dropping their work at five or six o'clock and slipping into a dress suit for an evening of pleasure; but the habit has certain drawbacks.

Don't be afraid of imperilling your health by giving a few extra hours to the company that pays your salary!

You can never really get away - - you can only take yourself somewhere else.

For my own part I am more interested in my work than its mere money value.

Most talk about 'super-geniuses' is nonsense. I have found that when 'stars' drop out, successors are usually at hand to fill their places, and the successors are merely men who have learned by application and self-discipline to get full production from an average, normal brain.
