» More quotes about: Business

So much for industry, my friends, and attention to one's own business; but to these we must add frugality if we would make our industry more certainly successful. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindst

» More quotes about: Contentment | Poverty

While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.

» More quotes about: Control

Drive thy business or it will drive thee.

» More quotes about: Control

The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much; always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends; never to pretend to wit, but to make that of others appear as much as possibly we can; to hearken to wh

» More quotes about: Conversation

If we do not hang together, we will all hang separately.
