As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital... The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.

Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.

It is more difficult to give money away intelligently that it is to earn it in the first place.

Teamwork is...the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he be willing to climb himself.

Watch the costs and the profits will take care of themselves.
