Thoughts for the Businessman


	This little book of pithy maxims was published in New York in 1912. The title says it all, and the nature of the quotes, drawn from the classics, illustrate the ideals of the business community during this formative era of American industry--whether such ideals were actually practiced or not.

	Among the other thoughts in this little book: "Use Your Difficulties--Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties. Spurgeon" "Things ill got have ever bad success. Shakespeare" "And, having thus chosen our course, let us renew our trust in God and go forward without fear and with manly hearts. Abraham Lincoln" "Be calm in arguing for fierceness makes error a fault and truth discourtesy. Herbert" "I look on that man as happy who, when there is a question of success, looks into his work for a reply, not into the market, not into opinion, not into patronage. Emerson" "I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."
