“It is not the crook in modern business that we fear, but the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing.”

“The man who can put himself in the place of other men, who can understand the workings of their minds, need never worry about what the future has in store for him.”

“Let us not be afraid of the future, let us be afraid of the past.”

“Only men who have the patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.”

“Men are valuable just in proportion as they are able to work in harmony with other men.”

“The world does not owe men a living, but a chance to make a living.”

“There is a single reason why 99 out of 100 average business men never become leaders. That is their unwillingness to pay the price of responsibility.”

“Progress is a comfortable disease.”

“We have to get the truth and get it straight. We have to get it from every source.”
