Business is never as healthy as when, like a chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching for what it gets.

To do more for the world than the world does for you - that is success.

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

Of course, it is not the employer who pays wages. He only handles the money. It is the product that pays wages and it is the management that arranges the production so that the product may pay the wages.

The government in business may waste time and money without rendering service. In the end the public pays in taxes. The corporation cannot waste or it will fall. It cannot make unfair rulings or give high-handed, expensive service, for there are not enough people willing to accept inferior service to make a volume of business that will pay dividends.

The public should always be wondering how it is possible to give so much for the money.

Old men are always advising young men to save money. That is bad advice. Don't save every nickel. Invest in yourself. I never saved a dollar until I was forty years old.
