I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

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.

Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.

The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.

I can think of nothing less pleasurable than a life devoted to pleasure.

Oh, how blessed young men are who have to struggle for a foundation and beginning in life.

Giving should be entered into in just the same way as investing. Giving is investing.
