There are three things that grow more precious with age; old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy.

There should be no unemployment. There is large percentage of labor now which cannot make a living because wages are not high enough. That is industry's 2nd job. 1st job is to make good product. 2nd pay a good wage.

Paying good wages is not charity at all-it is the best kind of business.

I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

The only motive that can keep politics pure is the motive of doing good for one's country and its people.

Any man can learn anything he will, but no man can teach except to those who want to learn.
