Marshall Field quotes about
The greatest good [a man] can do is to cultivate himself in order that he may be of greater use to humanity.
Good will is the one and only asset that competition cannot undersell or destroy.
Buying real estate is not only the best way, the quickest way, the safest way, but the only way to become wealthy.
Those who enter to buy, support me. Those who come to flatter, please me. Those who complain, teach me how I may please others so that more will come. Those only hurt me who are displeased but do not complain. They refuse me permission to correct my errors and thus improve my service.
