The hard way builds solidly a foundation of confidence that cannot be swept away

Hard work beats all the tonics and vitamins in the world.

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

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

I made a resolve then that I was going to amount to something if I could. And no hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me. And I have done that ever since, and I win by it. I know.

Work is the basis of living. I'll never retire. A man'll rust out quicker than he'll wear out.
