A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

When work goes out of style we may expect to see civilization totter and fall.

I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.

I have made many millions but they have brought me no happiness.

I believe it is a religious duty to get all the money you can, fairly and honestly; to keep all you can, and to give away all you can.

The person who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't succeed; you must have a larger ambition. There is no mystery in business success. If you do each day's task successfully, and stay faithfully within these natural operations of commercial laws which I talk so much about, and keep your head clear, you will come out all right.

A friendship built on business can be glorious, while a business built on friendship can be murder.
