If you ask yourself why you are in business and can find no answer other than, 'I want to make money,' you will save money by getting out of business and going to work for someone, for you are in business without sufficient reason.

More from Harvey S. Firestone & related wisdom
Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
Life, as I see it, is not a location, but a journey. Even the man who most feels himself "settled" is not settled-he is probably sagging back. Everything is in flux, and was meant to be. Life flows. We may live at the same number of the street, but it is never the same man who lives there.
Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again. There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail.
