Harvey S. Firestone quotes and words of wisdom |  | "A man with a surplus can control circumstances, but a man without a

judgment." | |  | Found in the topic Money.
| | | "An executive cannot gradually dismiss details. Business is made up
of details and I notice that the chief executive who dismisses them is
quite likely to dismiss his business. Success is the sum of detail. It
might perhaps be pleasing to imagine oneself beyond detail and engaged
only in great things, but as I have often observed, if one attends only to
great things and lets the little things pass the great things become
little; that is, the business shrinks. It is not possible for an executive
to hold himself aloof from anything. No business, no matter what its size,
can be called safe until it has been forced to learn economy and rigidly
to measure values of men and materials." | | | Found in the topic Unsorted.
