There's no reason to be the richest man in the cemetery. You can't do any business from there.

No hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me.

My life isn't over and I'm not going to sit in a rocking chair and take money from the government.

There's something inside of me that makes me want to help people, especially people who are having difficulty of some kind.

A lot of learned men think people really are the food theyve eaten.

I just say the moral out of my life is don't quit at age 65, maybe your boat hasn't come in yet. Mine hadn't.

You got to like your work. You have got to like what you are doing, you have got to be doing something worthwhile so you can like it - because it is worthwhile, that it makes a difference, don't you see?
