I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.

If you can build a business up big enough, it's respectable.

If there is anything that a man can do well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

The superior man understands what is right the inferior man understands what will sell.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
