My definition of an executive's job is brief and to the point. It is simply this: Getting things done through other people.

The greatest teacher I know is the job itself.

The thought in my mind was that I must be a good merchant. If I were a good merchant, the rest would probably take care of itself.

The well-satisfied customer will bring the repeat sale that counts.

Success will always be measured by the extent to which we serve the buying public.

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

Luck is always the last refuge of laziness and incompetence.
