It's So Much Easier To Do Good

What One Thing Does The World Need Most Today-apart, That Is, From The All-inclusive Thing We Call Righteousness? Aren't You Inclined To Agree That What This Old World Needs Is Just The Art Of Being Kind? Every Time I Visit A Factory Or Any Other Large Business Concern, I Find Myself Trying To Diagnose Whether The Atmosphere Is One Of Kindliness Or The Reverse. And Somehow, If There Is Palpably Lacking That Spirit Of Kindness, The Owners ... Have Fallen Short Of Achieving 24-carat Success No Matter How Imposing The Financial Balance Sheet May Be.

A Young Financial Writer Once Brought Ridicule Upon Himself By Stating That A Certain Company Had Nothing To Commend It Except Excellent Earnings. Well, There Are Companies Whose Earnings Are Excellent But Whose Stocks I Would Never Recommend. In Selecting Investments, I Attach Prime Importance To The Men Behind Them. I'd Rather Buy Brains And Character Than Earnings. Earnings Can Be Good One Year And Poor The Next. But If You Put Your Money Into Securities Run By Men Combining Conspicuous Brains And Unimpeachable Character, The Likelihood Is That The Financial Results Will Prove Satisfactory.

Work Is The Meat Of Life, Pleasure The Dessert.

The Fellow Who Isn't Fired With Enthusiasm Is Apt To Be Fired.
