The person who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't succeed; you must have a larger ambition. There is no mystery in business success.

The day of combination is here to stay. Individualism has gone, never to return.

My life has been one long, happy holiday;
Full of work and full of play —
I dropped the worry on the way —
And God was good to me every day.
