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

It has always been my rule in business to make everything count.

The man will be most successful who confers the greatest service on the world.

Do not many of us who fail to achieve big things. . .fail because we lack concentration--the art of concentrating the mind on the thing to be done at the proper time and to the exclusion of everything else?

I should say in general the advantage of education is to better fit a man for life's work. I would advise young men to take a college course, as a rule, but think some are just as well off with a thorough business training.

The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit... a reputation, character.

I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
