THOUGHTS ON . . .
It is no profit to have learned well, if you neglect to do
well.
~ Publilius SyrusToo many people think only of their own profit.
No customer ever goes to a store merely to please the store-keeper.
~ Kazuo InamoriHe wins every hand who mingles profit with pleasure.
~ HoraceThere are always opportunities through which businessmen
can profit handsomely if they will only recognize and seize them. ~
J. Paul GettyThe worst crime against working peo-ple is a company
which fails to oper-ate at a profit. ~Samuel Gompers
