― J. Willard Marriott

“What Emerson said on almost every page was that to grow strong and tall and self-reliant, you needed obstacles to overcome. You needed adversities to challenge you and bring out the best in you. And the bigger and tougher the obstacle, the stronger you grew in character and self confidence and in the ability to succeed.”
― J. Willard Marriott

“Friend, people are after me all the time to sign notes for them, but I never sign a note for anybody. If I wanted to help them, and if I could, I’d sooner give them the money and forget it. Start signing notes and most times, you lose your money, and you lose your friend too.”
― J. Willard Marriott
