One who works for his own profit is likely to work hard. One who works for the use of others, without profit to himself, is likely not to work any harder than he must.

If someone is going to profit from your work, they need to earn it.
It takes nearly as much ability to know how to profit by good advice as to know how to act for one's self.
Any man who goes into anything in life and does it better than the average will have a successful life. If he does it worse than the average, his life will not be successful. And no business can exist in which success cannot be won on that basis.
The world's most successful entrepreneurs play hard, but they work even harder.
There's nothing inherently or patently wrong with anybody who does well, works hard, earns a living, betters themselves. I'm not against any of these things. It's about how you make that money, and then what you do with it.
Most people work for the private sector, which cannot exist without profit.
No employer today is independent of those about him. He cannot succeed alone, no matter how great his ability or capital. Business today is more than ever a question of cooperation.
People that I know, the vast majority, who are successful work really, really hard. Sure, there's some people that either get lucky or inherited it or don't have to work hard for some reason, but the vast majority who are successful work really, really hard.
Work harder than anybody you've ever seen. That's what I believe.
Every time a man expects, as he says, his money to work for him, he is expecting other people to work for him.
