Don't be reluctant about putting on overalls!

The man who has done his best has done everything. The man who has done less than his best has done nothing.

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

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'.

The thing that most people call 'genius' I do not believe in.

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.

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.
