education fellow future men themselves university wealth
The aristocracy in the future is not one of wealth or university education, but the aristocracy of the men who have done something for themselves and their fellow men.
achievement dream great individual industrial men mind practical result
Men make opportunity. Every great industrial achievement has been the result of individual effort - the practical development of a dream in the mind of an individual.
aided believed country fellow happiness men succeeded
I have always believed that the aristocracy of any country should be the men who have succeeded - the men who have aided in upbuilding their country - the men who have contributed to the efficiency and happiness of their fellow men.
business fail giving men opportunity personal test thinking
The real test of business greatness is in giving opportunity to others. Many business men fail in this because they are thinking only of personal glory.
approval effort encouragement experience fellow life men
My own experience is that there is no real effort in life that is not done better under encouragement and approval of our fellow men.
believes best men ought
I am one of those men who believes that the best workingman ought to have the best pay.
feet heart men mind needed qualities
About all that is needed to put the world on its feet are the right qualities of mind and heart on the part of all men.
courteous everybody importance men pays pleasure
Many men fail because they do not see the importance of being kind and courteous to the men under them. Kindness to everybody always pays for itself. And, besides, it is a pleasure to be kind.
men done he-man
The man who has done his best has done everything. The man who has done less than his best has done nothing.
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.'
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.
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.
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.
