Some Nuggets from the Book:

"There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail"

"The natural thing to do is to work-to recognize that prosperity and happiness can be obtained only through honest effort."

"I cannot say that it was hard work. No work with interest is ever hard. I always am certain of results. They always come if you work hard enough. But it was a very great thing to have my wife even more confident than I was. She has always been that way."

"That is the way with wise people-they are so wise and practical that they always know to a dot just why something cannot be done; they always know the limitations. That is why I never employ an expert in full bloom. If ever I wanted to kill opposition by unfair means I would endow the opposition with experts. They would have so much good advice that I could be sure they would do little work."
