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

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'.

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.

You can tell a workingman you like him, but he knows whether you are sincere or not. You can't make him believe you are interested in his welfare unless you are.

One of the most successful men I have known never carried a watch until he began to earn ten thousand dollars a year.

I have yet to hear an instance where misfortune hit a man because he worked overtime. I know lots of instances where it hit men who did not.

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