I never trust an executive who tends to pass the buck. Nor would I want to deal with him as a customer or a supplier.

The friendly smile, the word of greeting, are certainly something fleeting and seemingly insubstantial. You can’t take them with you. But they work for good beyond your power to measure their influence. It is the service we are not obliged to give that people value most.

As a rule, we find what we look for; we achieve what we get ready for.

Every man must decide for himself whether he shall master his world or be mastered by it.

Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.

In every man s life there lies latent energy. There is, however, a spark that, if kindled, will set the whole being afire, and he will become a human dynamo, capable of accomplishing almost anything to which he aspires.

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