Many of us think of salespeople as people travelling around with sample kits. Instead, we are all salesman, every day of our lives.

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'.

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.

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.

The truth is that we have hitherto made no genuine effort to produce forged steel working parts of automobiles of the highest quality. That is one of the reasons why our automobiles have not ranked with those of foreign make.

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

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.
