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.

The inventor, the man with a unique, specialized talent, is the only real super-genius. But he is so rare that he needs no consideration.

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

I didn't take up shorthand with any idea of becoming a professional at it. It merely appeared to me to be a good thing to know - something that might come in handy.

You can never really get away - - you can only take yourself somewhere else.

A factory can be closed down, its chimneys smokeless, waiting for the worker to come back to his job, and all will be peaceful. But the moment workers are imported, and the striker sees his own place usurped, there is bound to be trouble.

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.
