If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it.

I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money's sake.

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

Probably the greatest single obstacle to the progress and happiness of the American people lies in the willingness of so many men to invest their time and money in multiplying competitive industries instead of opening up new fields, and putting their money into lines of industry and development that are needed.

I believe the power to make money is a gift of God.

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