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

It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.

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

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.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.

It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.

A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep us from buying it.
