Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves.

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'.

What we must seek is a plan by which the men will receive high wages when the employers are receiving high prices for the product.

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.

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

Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead.

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.
