The impression was gaining ground with me that it was a good thing to let the money be my slave and not make myself a slave to money.

I have nothing else to say other than I wasn't corrupt, unfair, or greedy. I was smart when it came to making decisions for my company, and I wasn't greedy. I gave to others in charity and donated money to fund programs. I have nothing else to say.

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

Never lose interest in life and the world. Never allow yourself to become annoyed.

I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.

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.

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.
