Does anyone believe for one moment that the progress we have made would have been possible under bureaucratic control of any government. This country was founded upon the principle of the regulation of private effort, of making rules for the game, and under that system alone can we look for the same success in the future which has been ours in the past. Our position today is the direct result of the free play among our people of private competitive effort.

There isn't a plant or a business on earth that couldn't stand a few improvements-and be better for them. Someone is going to think of them. Why not beat the other fellow to it?

It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final.

The finest command of language is often shown by saying nothing.

Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present.

More people should learn to tell their dollars where to go instead of asking them where they went.

When we are flat on our backs there is no way to look but up.
