George Horace Lorimer
The easiest way in the world to make enemies is to hire friends.
George Horace Lorimer
Having money and buying things with money is a good thing. But also do not forget to check occasionally to lose if you do not buy anything with money or not
George Horace Lorimer
The great secret of good management is to be more alert to prevent a man's going wrong than eager to punish him for it.
George Horace Lorimer
Appearances are deceitful, I know, but so long as they are, there's nothing like having them deceive for us instead of against us.
George Horace Lorimer
In all your dealings, remember that today is your opportunity tomorrow some other fellow's.
George Horace Lorimer
Putting off a hard thing makes it impossible.
George Horace Lorimer
There is one excuse for every mistake a man can make, but only one. When a fellow makes the same mistake twice he's got to throw up both hands and own up to carelessness or cussedness.
George Horace Lorimer
Some men are like oak leaves -- they don't know when they're dead, but still hang right on and there are others who let go before anything has really touched them.
George Horace Lorimer
Give fools the first and women the last word.
George Horace Lorimer
Never ask a man what he knows, but what he can do.
George Horace Lorimer
It is good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things money can't buy.
George Horace Lorimer
