I am sure that few successful men are so-called 'natural geniuses.'

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

I thought and dreamed of nothing else but the steel works.

American industry is spilling over with men who started life even with the leaders, with brains just as big, with hands quite as capable. And yet one man emerges from the mass, rises sheer about his fellows; and the rest remain.

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'.

The real test of business greatness is in giving opportunity to others.

If more persons would get so enthused over their day's work that some one would have to remind them to go out to lunch there would be more happiness in the world and less indigestion.
