• From time waste there can be no salvage. It is the easiest of all waste and the hardest to correct because it does not litter the floor.

• Good will is among the few really necessary things in life.

• History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.

  ---

• If I cannot come to terms with the course of events, then I let them take care of themselves.

  ---

• If money is your only hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.

  ---

• If there is any great secret of success in life, it lies in the ability to put yourself in the other person's place and to see things from his point of view - as well as your own.

  ---

• If you take all the experience and judgment of men over fifty out of the world, there wouldn't be enough left to run it.

• It is worth remembering that output per man in this country has increased on the average about two per cent a year during this century. Mere continuation of this trend will mean a future full of better things for more people.

• Many persons think that by hoarding money they are gaining safety for themselves. If money is your only hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. Without these qualities, money is practically useless. The security even of money depends on knowledge, experience and ability. If productive ideas are displaced by destructive ideas, economic life suffers.

• Money doesn't change men, it merely unmasks them, If a man is naturally selfish or arrogant or greedy, the money brings that out, that is all.

• No government can guarantee security. It can only tax production, distribution and service and gradually crush the power to pay taxes. That settles nothing. It only uses up the gains of the past and postpones the developments of the future.

  ---

• Nobody can think straight who does not work. Idleness warps the mind. Thinking without constructive action becomes a disease.

  ---

• Obstacles are those frightful things we see when we take our eyes off our goals.

• Of course, it is not the employer who pays wages. He only handles the money. It is the product that pays wages and it is the management that arranges the production so that the product may pay the wages.
