Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience.

I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity an obligation; every possession a duty.

I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Don't blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.

A friendship founded on business is a good deal better than a business founded on friendship.

The secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well.

According as you put something in, the greater will be your dividends of salvation!
