men instance knows
I have yet to hear an instance where misfortune hit a man because he worked overtime. I know lots of instances where it hit men who did not.
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.
somewhere-else get-away
You can never really get away - - you can only take yourself somewhere else.
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.
jobs littles way
I have always felt that the surest way to qualify for the job just ahead is to work a little harder than any one else on the job one is holding down.
ifs
If you must be a glutton, be a glutton for work.
successful men thinking
All successful employers are stalking men who will do the unusual, men who think, men who attract attention by performing more than is expected of them.
boys careers firsts
The first essential in a boy's career is to find out what he's fitted for, what he's most capable of doing and doing with a relish.

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.
