There's no better friend to any merchant than a fair competitor.

A merchant who approaches business with the idea of serving the public well has nothing to fear from the competition.

The thought in my mind was that I must be a good merchant. If I were a good merchant, the rest would probably take care of itself.

I believe a man is better anchored who has a belief in the Supreme Being.

No matter what his position or experience in life, there is in everyone more latent than developed ability; far more unused than used power.

The men who have furnished me with my greatest inspiration have not been men of wealth, but men of deeds.
