"Industry is the soul of business and..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”

“I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.”

“Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.”

“The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.”

“Once a month, go to lunch with someone who knows more about your business than you do.”

“If you need to bring in a business partner, make sure your partner brings along some money.”

“I'm sure everyone feels sorry for the individual who has fallen by the wayside or who can't keep up in our competitive society, but my own compassion goes beyond that to those millions of unsung men and women, who get up every morning, send the kids to school, go to work, try to keep up the payments on their house, pay exorbitant taxes to make possible compassion for the less fortunate, and as a result have to sacrifice many of their own desires and dreams and hopes. Government owes them something better than always finding a new way to make them share the fruit of their toils with others.”

“A man who gets the reputation of rising at dawn can sleep to noon.”

“You Can't Rest on Your Laurels. Your Own Body of Work Is Yet to Come.”
