Julius Rosenwald quotes
-
“Early in my business career I learned the folly of worrying about anything. I have always worked as hard as I could, but when a thing went wrong and could not be righted, I dismissed it from my mind.”
-- Julius Rosenwald -
“Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the contrary.”
-- Julius Rosenwald -
“I never could understand the popular belief that because a man makes a lot of money he has a lot of brains. Some very rich men who made their fortunes have been among the stupidest men I have ever met.”
-- Julius Rosenwald -
“All the other pleasures of life seem to wear out, but the pleasure of helping others in distress never does.”
-- Julius Rosenwald -
-
“I have always believed that most large fortunes are made by men...who tumbled into a lucky opportunity. Hard work and attention to business are necessary, but they rarely result in achieving a large fortune. Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich, he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the contrary.”
-- Julius Rosenwald -
“Rich men are neither better nor worse than all other humans. They contribute to greatness or mediocrity, strength of character or weakness in exactly the same proportion as persons in all other walks of life do.”
-- Julius Rosenwald -
“I can testify that it is nearly always easier to make $1,000,000 honestly than to dispose of it wisely.”
-- Julius Rosenwald -
“Benevolence today has become altogether too huge an undertaking to be conducted otherwise than on business lines.”
-- Julius Rosenwald -
