I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.

Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it.

Often-times the most difficult competition comes, not from the strong, the intelligent, the conservative competitor, but from the man who is holding on by the eyelids and is ignorant of his costs, and anyway he's got to keep running or bust!

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

I was born into it and there was nothing I could do about it. It was there, like air or food, or any other element. The only question with wealth is what you do with it.

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

I shall use such influence as I have in emphasizing the basic truths common to all denominations, in lowering denominational barriers and in promoting effective cooperation among Christians of whatever creed.
