Letter "A" » advancements
«Advancement only comes with habitually doing more than you are asked.»
«The measure of a man's success must be according to his ability. The advancement he makes from the station in which he was born gives the degree of his success.»
«Temporary success can be achieved in spite of lack of other fundamental qualities, but no advancements can be maintained without hard work.»
«In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.»
