 | "A man who gives his children habits of industry provides for them
better than by giving them a fortune." | |
 |
Richard Whately
|
|
| "A people, secure in their jobs, taking pride in their work, and sure
of just recognition, will help our society grow to new heights. If all
industry should adopt an incentive system, the standard of living of all
peoples would be quadrupled; friction between labor and management would
disappear, and the satisfaction of all workers would be greatly
enhanced." | |
|
James F. Lincoln
|
|
| "Frankly, I?d like to see the government get out of war altogether
and leave the whole field to private industry." | |
|
Joseph Heller
|
|
| "Getting ahead in industry is an adventure?and there aren"t many
people today who like adventure.... The supervisor who gets ahead must
have a basic, materialistic selfish interest in a better life ... and must
believe he"ll reach his goal if he tries hard enough. The door is still
open to initiative." | |
|
Patrick B. Comer, Jr.
|
|
| "I"d wipe the machines off the face of the earth again, and end the
industrial epoch absolutely, like a black mistake." | |
|
David Herbert Lawrence
|
|
| "If you have great talents, industry will improve them: if you have
but moderate abilities, industry will supply their deficiency." | |
|
Sir Joshua Reynolds
|
|
| "In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which
genius can do, and very many things which it cannot." | |
|
Henry Ward Beecher
|
|
| "Industries and businesses that must operate in the marketplace of
free choice know that they must change, they must adapt, they must
accommodate to changes in public attitudes?or they will surely die." | |
|
William D. Ruckelshaus
|
|
| "Industry pays debts, despair increases them." | |
|
Benjamin Franklin
|
|
| "It is probably safe to say that the best brains of the nation are to
be found in industry. This is partly because industry can afford to pay the
highest prices for talent, and also because of the training men receive in
that field. That this fact is not more apparent is due in part to the
reluctance of business men to reveal their accomplishments to the public,
and also because they have directed their energies in the past almost
exclusively to production problems." | |

Ralph Hendershot

|
| "Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement." | |
|
Oliver Goldsmith
|
|
| "Property is desirable, is a positive good in the world." | |
|
Abraham Lincoln
|
|
| "The great menace to the life of an industry is industrial
self-complacency." | |
|
David Sarnoff
|
|
| "The technical progress of industry has been a reflection of our
ability to apply increasingly accurate methods of measurement to material
things. The art of measuring psychological human dimensions is relatively
undeveloped. To all of the complexities of management we must bring to
bear infinite patience and persistence, consistency and complete
sincerity." | |
|
Louis Ruthenburg
|
|
| "There are only two ways by which to rise in this world, either by
one"s own industry or by the stupidity of others." | |
