Together we shall achieve victory.

Fundamentally, there are only to ways of coordinating the economic activities of millions. One is central direction involving the use of coercion — the technique of the army and the modern totalitarian state. The other is voluntary cooperation — the technique of the marketplace.

Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.

In walking, the will and the muscles are so accustomed to working together and performing their task with so little expenditure of force that the intellect is left comparatively free.

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

Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions such as courts of justice and police.

You should respect each other and refrain from disputes; you should not, like water and oil, repel each other, but should, like milk and water, mingle together.

If you want the cooperation of humans around you, you must make them feel they are important, and you do that by being genuine and humble.

Our lives are like islands in the sea, or like trees in the forest. The maple and the pine may whisper to each other with their leaves . . . But the trees also commingle their roots in the darkness underground, and the islands also hang together through the ocean's bottom.

The richest people in the world look for and build networks, everyone else looks for work.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.

The common denominator of happy and successful people is that they spend their time with other happy and successful people.

If we do not make common cause to save the good old ship of the Union on this voyage, nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage.

Let us possess one world, each hath one, and is one.

Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.

Victory has a hundred fathers and defeat is an orphan.

In reading lives of great people, I found the first victory won was over themselves.
