Most talk about 'super-geniuses' is nonsense. I have found that when 'stars' drop out, successors are usually at hand to fill their places, and the successors are merely men who have learned by application and self-discipline to get full production from an average, normal brain.

We have reached in this country an amazing degree of general prosperity, with American business on the whole no longer facing an uphill climb.

It may be in seemingly unimportant things that a man expresses his passion for perfection, yet they will count heavily in the long run.

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

Nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course.

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.

Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves.
