"Business is always a struggle. There are always obstacles and competitors. There is never an open road, except the wide road that leads to failure. Every great success has always been achieved by fight. Every winner has scars.... The men who succeed are the efficient few. They are the few who have the ambition and will-power to develop themselves."
- Herbert N. Casson
