Any man who takes a job with the idea that it is simply a springboard for something else is a chump. His attention will be more on the other things than on the job at hand and so he will fail.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A man will succeed in anything about which he has real enthusiasm, in which he is genuinely interested, provided that he will take more thought about his job than the men working with him. The fellow who sits still and does what he is told will never be told to do big things.
Men fail much oftener from want of perseverance than from want of talent.
No man is a success in business unless he loves his work.
No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.
I'm the only person in the world that, when he holds down two jobs, gets criticized for it; everyone else gets a pat on the back and say, 'What an entrepreneuring, hardworking person,' but apparently that doesn't apply to me.
A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.
Let not a man do what his sense of right bids him not to do, nor desire what it forbids him to desire. This is sufficient. The skillful artist will not alter his measures for the sake of a stupid workman.
If someone is willing to sell out his principles for the job, he is not worthy of it.
Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.
There is no job a man can do that is undignified - if he does it well.
