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.

There is not a man in power at our Bethlehem steel works today who did not begin at the bottom and work his way up.

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.

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

The man who attracts attention is the man who is thinking all the time, and expressing himself in little ways. It is not the man who tries to dazzle his employer by doing the theatrical, the spectacular.
