I have long been profoundly convinced that in the very nature of things, employers and employees are partners, not enemies; that their interests are common not opposed; that in the long run the success of each is dependent upon the success of the other.

Be sure that you are not deceiving yourself at any time about actual conditions.

I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Never think you need to apologize for asking someone to give to a worthy cause, any more than as though you were giving him or her an opportunity to participate in a high-grade investment. The duty of giving is as much his or hers as is the duty of asking yours.

I had to work my way up to be where I am now. All these companies could have done the same.

I never placed my head upon the pillow at night without reminding myself that my success might only be temporary.

To think! All that power and he wasn't even rich!
