Opportunity Rarely Knocks On Your Door. Knock

For My Part, I Rather Distrust Men Or Concerns That Rise Up With The Speed Of Rockets. Sudden Rises Are Sometimes Followed By Equally Sudden Falls. I Have Most Faith In The Individual Or Enterprise That Advances Step By Step. A Mushroom Can Spring Up In A Day; An Oak Takes 50 Years Or More To Reach Maturity. Mushrooms Don't Last; Oaks Do. The Real Cause For An Enormous Number Of Business Failures Is Premature Over-expansion, Attempting To Gallop Before Learning To Creep. Sudden Successes Often Invite Sudden Reverses.

Honesty Is The Cornerstone Of Character. The Honest Man Or Woman Seeks Not Merely To Avoid Criminal Or Illegal Acts, But To Be Scrupulously Fair, Upright, Fearless In Both Action And Expression. Honesty Pays Dividends Both In Dollars And In Peace Of Mind.

Honesty Pays Dividends Both In Dollars And In Peace Of Mind.

Thomas Edison Reads Not For Entertainment But To Increase His Store Of Knowledge. He Sucks In Information As Eagerly As The Bee Sucks Honey From Flowers. The Whole World, So To Speak, Pours Its Wisdom Into His Mind. He Regards It As A Criminal Waste Of Time To Go Through The Slow And Painful Ordeal Of Ascertaining Things For One's Self If These Same Things Have Already Been Ascertained And Made Available By Others. In Edison's Mind Knowledge Is Power.

If You Do The Best And The Most You Can Today, Don't Worry About Tomorrow.
