In closing a deal, what you don’t say may be more helpful than what you do say.

Many of us are dull, but not as dull as the grandchildren think we are.

Many people are thwarted by excessive ambition. They want a hundred thousand dollars but are unwilling to save a hundred dollars. They want a big house, but do not accumulate enough money to make the down payment on on a small house. They want to write a book, but will not learn to write a letter. Most men become successful and famous, not through ambition, but through ability and character.
