The man who is worthy of being a leader of men will never complain about the stupidity of his helpers, the ingratitude of mankind nor the inappreciation of the public. These are all a part of the great game of life. To meet them and overcome them and not to go down before them in disgust, discouragement or defeat-that is the final proof of power

No man will succeed unless he is ready to face and overcome difficulties and prepared to assume responsibilities.

What the carburetor, sparkplug and self-starter are to an automobile, initiative, private enterprise and executive ability are to industry as a whole, including the wage earner, wage payer, wage spender and wage saver, i.e., the investor. If the sparkplug and self-starter get out of commission, the car will come to a standstill.

You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.

It is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right.

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.
