Quote

No economy can succeed without a high-quality workforce, particularly in an age of globalization and technical change.

There is no excellence without labor. One cannot dream oneself into either usefulness or happiness.

There's a few in our history, where the person who creates it becomes almost the product itself. Jobs is one of those.

Only with the tools of production in their own hands could the workers ever hope to control their own lives and receive the fruits of their labor.

There's a whole generation of young people who are faced with the so-called 'jobless recovery.' Necessity is the mother of invention. They are out there, all around the world, creating new companies.

It might be said that it is the ideal of the employer to have production without employees and the ideal of the employee is to have income without work.

Relatively few people should start companies.

And there is no trade or employment but the young man following it may become a hero.

Nothing is so envied as genius, nothing so hopeless of attainment by labor alone. Though labor always accompanies the greatest genius, without the intellectual gift labor alone will do little.

I have always been fully persuaded that, through co-operation, labor could become its own employer.
