I was born the day a Methodist bishop name Isaac W. Joyce happened to be in David City.

Clyde wasn’t any great shakes of a name either.

When you get to the end of your rope tie a knot in it and hang on.

We didn't start our business to see how much money we could make, but to see how good a job we could do.

If a man goes into business with only the idea of making a lot of money, chances are he won't. But if he puts service and quality first, the money will take care of itself. Producing a first-class product that is a real need is a much stronger motivation for success than getting rich.

I’m hell-bent on quality.

Good taste is good business.

I’d rather make eight million good impressions than 28 million bad ones.

Everybody in the place was against it.

I just don’t like to sit around and wait for something to happen. It’s more fun making it happen.

I figured I wasn’t as smart as some of the other fellows, so I had to work twice as hard.

In bad times people send greeting cards instead of presents.

All I was trying to do was make a living. In those days, if you didn't work, you didn't eat. And I like to eat.

The Lord will provide. It’s a good idea to give the Lord a little help.
