George Horace Lorimer quotes about
leadership money smart
It is good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things money can't buy.
differences facts delivery
There's a vast difference between having a carload of miscellaneous facts sloshing around loose in your head and getting all mixed up in transit, and carrying the same assortment properly boxed and crated for convenient handling and immediate delivery.
mistake eggs rotten
When you make a mistake, don't make a second one -- keeping it to yourself. Own up. The time to sort out rotten eggs is at the nest. The deeper you hide them in the case the longer they stay in circulation, and the worse impression they make when they finally come to the breakfast table.
apples office tree
When an office begins to look like a family tree, you'll find worms tucked away snug and cheerful in most of the apples.
lesson-learned muzzle lessons
A lesson learned at the muzzle has the virtue of never being forgotten.
office enemy should
A fellow and his business should be bosom friends in the office and sworn enemies out of it.
buying-things forget good-things
Having money and buying things with money is a good thing. But also do not forget to check occasionally to lose if you do not buy anything with money or not
humble men differences
It's been my experience that every man has in him the possibility of doing well some one thing, no matter how humble, and that there's some one, in some place, who wants that special thing done. The difference between a fellow who succeeds and one who fails is that the first gets out and chases after the man who needs him, and the second sits around waiting to be hunted up.
sermons sinner
You've got to preach short sermons to catch sinners.
mistake men hands
There is one excuse for every mistake a man can make, but only one. When a fellow makes the same mistake twice he's got to throw up both hands and own up to carelessness or cussedness.
