Man's Value to Society

Failure is want of knowledge; success is knowing how.

Wealth is not in things of iron, wood and stone. WEALTH is the brain that organizes the metal.

Pig iron is worth $20 per ton; Made into horse shoes, $90; into knife blades, $200; into watch springs, $1000; that is, raw iron, $20, brain power, $980.—Newell Dwight Hillis.
