“If you are one of those who believe that hard work and honesty, alone, will bring riches, perish the thought! It is not true!

Speak your words of praise with such earnestness that they will impress those to whom you speak. Then watch what happens. You will have rendered those whom you praise a decided benefit of great value to them,”
