Top 10 most inspiring quotes by George Horace Lorimer
- You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.
- Never threaten, because a threat is a promise to pay that it isn’t always convenient to meet, but if you don’t make it good it hurts your credit. Save a threat till you’re ready to act, and then you won’t need it.
- When a fellow’s got what he set out for in this world, he should go off into the woods for a few weeks now and then to make sure that he’s still a man, and not a plug-hat and a frock-coat and a wad of bills.
- Books are all right, but dead men’s brains are no good unless you mix a live one’s with them.
- Procrastination is the longest word in the language, but there’s only one letter between its ends when they occupy their proper places in the alphabet.
- A fellow and his business should be bosom friends in the office and sworn enemies out of it.
- Clothes don’t make the man, but they make all of him except his hands and face during business hours, and that’s a pretty considerable area of the human animal.
- Doing the same thing in the same way year after year is like eating a quail a day for thirty days. Along toward the middle of the month a fellow begins to long for a broiled crow or a slice of cold dog.
- A business man’s conversation should be regulated by fewer and simpler rules than any other function of the human animal. They are: Have something to say. Say it. Stop talking.
- It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.
