A merchant who approaches business with the idea of serving the public well has nothing to fear from the competition.

I believe in trusting men, not only once but twice - in giving a failure another chance.

The men who have furnished me with my greatest inspiration have not been men of wealth, but men of deeds.

I do not believe in excuses. I believe in hard work as the prime solvent of life's problems.

Salesmanship, too, is an art; the perfection of its technique requires study and practice.

Success in business does not depend upon genius. Any young man of ordinary intelligence who is normally sound and not afraid to work should succeed in spite of obstacles and handicaps if he plays the game fairly and keeps everlastingly at it.

I believe a man is better anchored who has a belief in the Supreme Being.
