Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.

True economy consists in always making the income exceed the outgo.

Small does of advertising result in nothing, obviously. It's like giving a sick person half the medicine he needs. It just causes more suffering. Give the whole dose, and the cure will be certain and decisive.

Every man should make his son or daughter learn some useful trade or profession, so that in these days of changing fortunes of being rich today and poor tomorrow they may have something tangible to fall back upon.

Instead of spending money, I earned it.

I risked much, but I made much.

Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.

The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
