If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours.

The golden rule for every business man is this: ‘Put yourself in your customer’s place.’

A business absolutely devoted to service will have one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.

Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better.

I had made the religion of service my own, as I felt that God could be realized only through service.

The one hand trying to wash itself is a pitiful spectacle, but when one hand washes the other, power is increased, and it becomes a force to be reckoned with.

False leaders rarely engage succession planning for fear of no longer being seen as the leader.

The Golden Rule finds no limit of application in business.

We are prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the size of our automobiles rather than by the quality of our service and relationship to mankind.

If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.

Honor bespeaks worth. Confidence begets trust. Service brings satisfaction. Cooperation proves the quality of leadership.

A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.

There is only one success—to be able to spend your life in your own way.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

Limitations are merely opportunities to grow. I use them as stepping stones to success.

Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the induction of a new order of things.

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other persons point of view and see things from his angle as well as your own.

Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken the people flourished.

The secret of success is conviction and persistence.
