My opposition to war is not based upon pacifist or non-resistant principles. It may be that the present state of civilization is such that certain international questions cannot be discussed; it may be that they have to be fought out. But the fighting never settles the question. It only gets the participants around to a frame of mind where they will agree to discuss what they were fighting about.

These men of many nations must be taught American ways, the English language, and the right way to live.

Always demanding the best of oneself, living with honor, devoting one's talents and gifts to the benefits of others - these are the measures of success that endure when material things have passed away.

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.

Business must be run at a profit, else it will die. But when anyone tries to run a business solely for profit, then also the business must die, for it no longer has a reason for existence.

What we call evil, it seems to me, is simply ignorance bumping its head in the dark.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.
