A man to carry on a successful business must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing.

The hardest struggle of all is to be something different from what the average man is. I don't believe in 'super-men,' for the world is full of capable men, but it's the fellow with determination that wins out.

Be friends with everybody. When you have friends, you will know there is somebody who will stand by you.

The thing that most people call ‘genius’ I do not believe in.

You can tell a workingman you like him, but he knows whether you are sincere or not. You can’t make him believe you are interested in his welfare unless you are.

Don’t be afraid of imperilling your health by giving a few extra hours to the company that pays your salary!

If more persons would get so enthused over their day’s work that some one would have to remind them to go out to lunch there would be more happiness in the world and less indigestion.

Young men may enjoy dropping their work at five or six o’clock and slipping into a dress suit for an evening of pleasure; but the habit has certain drawbacks.

You can never really get away – – you can only take yourself somewhere else.

I am sure that few successful men are so-called ‘natural geniuses.’
