Everything in business is negotiable, except quality
A promise made is a debt incurred
For all we take in life we must pay
Persistence and common sense are more important than intelligence
The fox fears not the man who boasts by night, but the man who rises early in the morning
Accept the advice of the man who loves you, though you like it not at present
Trust instinct to the end, though you cannot render any reason
The heights of great men reached and kept
were not attained by sudden flight
but that while their companions slept
were toiling upward in the night
There is no substitute for personal contact
