Believing that fundamental conditions of the country are sound and there is nothing in the business situation to warrant the destruction of values that has taken place on the exchanges during the past week, my son and I have for some days been purchasing sound common stocks.

Singleness of purpose is essential for success in life.

The success of each is dependent upon the success of the other.

The best philanthropy is constantly in search of the finalities-a search for a cause, an attempt to cure evils at their source.

The best business in the world is a well run oil company. The second best business in the world is a badly run oil company.

Save when you can and not when you have to.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
