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

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.

I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.

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.

Woe to the statesman whose arguments for entering a war are not as convincing at its end as they were at the beginning, Bismarck had cautioned.

This is the end. For me the beginning of life.

The cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise godfearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ.

My game of love has just begun, love runs from my head down to my toes. My love is pumping through my veins. Play the game, driving me insane.

I am all about new beginnings. A new grandchild, another new hairstyle, a new email account. Why not a new relationship with the press?

Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten.

I began to understand that his version of hope reached far beyond mine: It was one thing to get yourself out of a stick place, I realized. It was another thing entirely to try and get the place itself unstuck.

An idea is inevitably a coordination. It is a coming together of something that is separate or disorganized or incomplete. With an idea you begin to feel into the nature of that incompleteness.
