Those who never make mistakes work for those of us who do.

Patience and foresight are the two most important qualities in business

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

I didn't get much peace, but I heard in Norway that Russia might well become a huge market for tractors soon.

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. Enthusiasm is the spark in your eye, the swing in your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of your will and your energy to execute your ideas. Enthusiasts are fighters, they have fortitude, they have strong qualities. Enthusiasm is at the bottom of all progress. With it there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis.

The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all, but goes on making his own business better all the time.

Failure is the chance to do it better next time.
