The man who holds the ladder at the bottom is frequently of more service than the man at the top.

He who does not know how to walk cannot climb a ladder.

One must work really hard to reach the top, especially the one who is at the bottom.

Worry is a ladder that never goes up to a hill.

Believe no man more than yourself when you are spoken of.

Early in my life, every time I had to climb the ladder of success because my father never taught me to use the escalator.
