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

Nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course.

The thing that most people call 'genius' I do not believe in.

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.

I disagreed with Carnegie's ideas on how best to distribute his wealth. I spent mine!

The men who miss success have two general alibis: 'I'm not a genius' is one; and the other, 'There aren't the opportunities today there used to be'.

Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves.
