attribute bill captain dear friend heard life perhaps steel success whom won
What little success I may have won in life I attribute to the loyalty I had for a dear old friend who was my first steel master, whom you perhaps have never heard of: Captain Bill Jones.
mere my-own values
For my own part I am more interested in my work than its mere money value.
men salary dollars
I am not a believer in large salaries. I hold that every man should be paid for personal production. Our big men at Bethlehem seldom get salaries of over one hundred dollars a week; but all of them receive bonuses computed entirely on the efficiencies and the economies registered in their departments.
successful men genius
I am sure that few successful men are so-called 'natural geniuses.'
ideas might becoming
I didn't take up shorthand with any idea of becoming a professional at it. It merely appeared to me to be a good thing to know - something that might come in handy.
ifs
If you must be a glutton, be a glutton for work.
men effort criticism
In my wide association in life, meeting with many and great men in various parts of the world, I have yet to find the man, however great or exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of criticism.
mind limits sticks
Every one's got it in him, if he'll only make up his mind and stick at it. None of us is born with a stop-valve on his powers or with a set limit to his capacities, There's no limit possible to the expansion of each one of us.
secret littles trailers
Keeping a little ahead of conditions is one of the secrets of business; the trailer seldom goes far.
careers together fifty
I have probably purchased fifty 'hot tips' in my career, maybe even more. When I put them all together, I know I am a net loser.
friendship happy-life enemy
Be friends with everybody. When you have friends you will know there is somebody who will stand by you. You know the old saying, that if you have a single enemy you will find him everywhere. It doesn't pay to make enemies. Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to every one about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will live.
kids hands gloves
Bare hands grip success better than kid gloves.
running passion men
It may be in seemingly unimportant things that a man expresses his passion for perfection, yet they will count heavily in the long run.
men giving failing
The man who fails to give fair service during the hours for which he is paid is dishonest. The man who is not willing to give more than this is foolish.
