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

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

The man who counts his hours and kicks about his salary is a self-elected failure.

The captains of industry are not hunting money. America is heavy with it. They are seeking brains - specialized brains - and faithful, loyal service. Brains are needed to carry out the plans of those who furnish the capital.

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.

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.

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