Quotes From Chapter 4: The Secret of Manufacturing and Serving

The temptation to stop and hang on to what one has is quite natural. I can entirely sympathize with the desire to quit a life of activity and retire to a life of ease.

"When one of my cars breaks down I know I am to blame."

The salesmen, before I had announced the policy, were spurred by the great sales to think that even greater sales might be had if only we had more models.
