The man who dies rich dies disgraced

I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle

There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he be willing to climb himself

Concentration is my motto - first honesty, then industry, then concentration

Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately

People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents

There is little success where there is little laughter

The secret of success lies not in doing your own work, but in recognizing the right man to do it

He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave

No man can become rich without himself enriching others

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do

The man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled

I believe that the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line

I would as soon leave to my son a curse as the almighty Dollar

I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution

Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something

It is the mind that makes the body rich

The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised
