“A man’s wealth must be determined by the relation of his desires and expenditures to his income. If he feels rich on ten dollars, and has everything else he desires, he really is rich.”

The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.

I have made many millions but they have brought me no happiness.

There is nothing in this world that can compare with the Christian fellowship; nothing that can satisfy but Christ.

I was trained from the beginning to work, to save, and to give.

Our cup will truly run over only after we have sealed the character cracks.

I never said that I wanted to be the only company, is it my fault that I ran my company well? Wouldn’t you want the best for your company? Also consider that I started of small.

I was early taught to work as well as play. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play- I dropped the worry on the way- And God was good to me everyday.

Think of giving not only as a duty but as a privilege.

I never placed my head upon the pillow at night without reminding myself that my success might only be temporary.

Character – not wealth, power, or position – is the supreme word.

Oh, how blessed young men are who have to struggle for a foundation and beginning in life.

I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.

Be sure that you are not deceiving yourself at any time about actual conditions.

Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.

The common denominator for success is work.

Let the good work go on. We must ever remember we are refining oil for the poor man and he must have it cheap and good.

If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

Ultimately, it is the desire, not the desired, that we love.

Love is the name for our pursuit of wholeness, for our desire to be complete.

One’s desire, not ability, determines success.

If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it.

There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.

I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.

There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
