To me, my recipes are priceless.

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

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

I've read hundreds of cookbooks. Most of those cookbooks don't even tell you how to get a steak ready, how to bake biscuits or an apple pie.

One has to remember that every failure can be a stepping stone to something better.

I was sixty-six years old. I still had to make a living. I looked at my social security check of 105 dollars and decided to use that to try to franchise my chicken recipe. Folks had always liked my chicken.

Don’t be against things so much as for things.
