With the young man starting in business, let him understand the value of money by earning it.

Money is in some respects like fire; it is a very excellent servant but a terrible master.

In the United States, where we have more land than people, it is not at all difficult for persons in good health to make money.

A penny here, and a dollar there, placed at interest, goes on accumulating, and in this way the desired result is attained. It requires some training, perhaps, to accomplish this economy, but when once used to it, you will find there is more satisfaction in rational saving than in irrational spending.

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

When a man is in the right path, he must persevere.

You must exercise your caution in laying your plans, but be bold in carrying them out.
