The best way to stop a bad habit is never to begin it.

No man can climb the ladder of success without first placing his foot on the bottom rung.

Success cannot come from standstill men. Methods change and men must change with them.

There has never been a time when a career in the Penney Company was not a challenge that brought out the best in a man.

No matter what his position or experience in life, there is in everyone more latent than developed ability; far more unused than used power.

No serious-minded man should have time for the mediocre in any phase of his living.

The disciplined are free.
