John Pierpont Morgan
» Action » “You can’t pick cherries with your back to the tree.”
» Business » “Well, I don’t know as I want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do. I hire him to tell how to do what I want to do.”
» Expectation » “When you expect things to happen — strangely enough — they do happen.”
» Goals » “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”
» Planning » “The wise man bridges the gap by laying out the path by means of which he can get from where he is to where he wants to go.”
» Possibilities » “Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther.”
» Price » “If you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.”
» Reason » “A man always has two reasons for doing anything — a good reason and the real reason.”
» Truth » “No problem can be solved until it is reduced to some simple form. The changing of a vague difficulty into a specific, concrete form is a very essential element in thinking.”
