Money is power. Every good man and woman ought to strive for power, to do good with it when obtained. I say, get rich, get rich!

Begin where you are and what you are.

Let every man or woman here remember this, that if you wish to be great at all, you must begin where you are and with what you are. He who would be great anywhere must first be great in his own Philadelphia.

Many of us spend our lives searching for success when it is usually so close that we can reach out and touch it.

Let us remember there is not a poor person in the United States who was not made poor by his own shortcomings.

No matter what you do, do it to your utmost. I always attribute my success to always requiring myself to do my level best, if only in driving a tack in straight.

I ask not for a larger garden, but for finer seeds.
