I believe in the stuff I am handing out, in the firm I am working for; and in my ability to get results. I believe that honest stuff can be passed out to honest men by honest methods. I believe in working, not weeping; in boosting, not knocking; and in the pleasure of my job. I believe that a man gets what he goes after, that one deed done today is worth two deeds done tomorrow, and that no man is down and out until he has lost faith in himself. I believe in today and the work I am doing, in tomorrow and the work I hope to do, and in the sure reward which the future holds.

I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship, and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing, somewhere, for every man ready to do it. I believe I'm ready-right now!"

Such a word of truth and courage is certainly a fine legacy for a man to leave to the world. It may well serve as the busy man's creed, as the business man's platform. It stirs the soul like a trumpet. It makes for character and good citizenship. It recognizes many of the sure foundations of civic life and points courageously to opportunity. To millions America has meant opportunity. To all who have the true American spirit life is opportunity.
