Profitability comes from loyalty, productivity, and having a character base from which to work.

I read the paper every day and the Bible every day; that way I know what both sides are up to.

Don't let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of going after yours.

First, say to yourself what you would be; then do what you have to do. Life is a grindstone. Whether it wears you down or polishes you up depends on what YOU are made of.

Money will buy you a bed, but not a good night's sleep, a house but not a home, a companion but not a friend.

Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his/her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.

You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.
