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!

I think it is a man's duty to make all the money he can, keep all that he can and give away all that he can.

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 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.

Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege.

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

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