J. Paul Getty
The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him-and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.
J. Paul Getty
Wealth is only a benefit of the game of money. If you win, the money will be there.
J. Paul Getty

J. Paul Getty
If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.

If you get up early, work late, and pay your taxes, you will get ahead -- if you strike oil.
J. Paul Getty
