Every great business is built on friendship.

The best teamwork comes from men who are working independently toward one goal in unison.

In setting up a business under the name and meaning of the Golden Rule, I was publicly binding myself, in my business relations, to a principle which had been a real and intimate part of my family upbringing. Our idea was to make money and build business through serving the community with fair dealing and honest value.

I cannot remember a time when the Golden Rule was not my motto and precept, the torch that guided my footsteps.

Men are not great or small because of their material possessions. They are great or small because of what they are.

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

Responsibilities are given to him on whom trust rests. Responsibility is always a sign of trust.
