“One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.”

A man’s real education begins after he has left school. True education is gained through the discipline of life.

Anybody can do anything that he imagines.

Businesses that grow by development and improvement do not die.

Businessmen go down with their businesses because they like the old way so well they cannot change.

You don’t have to hold a position in order to be a leader.

A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.

There are three things that grow more precious with age; old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy.

Don’t expect people to respect you for what you are “planning” to do.

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm.

It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.

Whatever you resist will persist.

Mediocrity is the worst enemy of prosperity.
