“We try to pay a man what he is worth and we are not inclined to keep a man who is not worth more than the minimum wage.”

“It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.”

“There is no man living who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.”

“None of our men are 'experts.' We have most unfortunately found it necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets into the 'expert' state of mind a great number of things become impossible.”

“There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.”

“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.”

“Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.”
