If you must be a glutton, be a glutton for work.

What we must seek is a plan by which the men will receive high wages when the employers are receiving high prices for the product.

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

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.

I have always felt that the surest way to qualify for the job just ahead is to work a little harder than any one else on the job one is holding down.

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.

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