I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.

Duty

Every right implies a responsibility; Every opportunity, an obligation, Every possession, a duty.

Labor

I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

Money

I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money's sake.

Responsibility

I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity an obligation; every possession, a duty.

Worth

I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
