Money is only a tool in business. It is just a part of the machinery. You might as well borrow 100,000 lathes as $100,000 if the trouble is inside your business.

A business that misuses what it has will continue to misuse what it can get.

The competitor to be feared is one who never bothers about you at all but goes on making his own business better all the time.

Every business is a monarchy with, not a man, but an idea as king.
