Every dollar of capital and credit, every business-thought, should be concentrated upon the one business upon which a man has embarked.

He should never scatter his shot.

It is a poor business which will not yield better returns for increased capital than any outside investment.

No man or set of men or corporation can manage a business-man's capital as well as he can manage it himself.

The rule, 'Do not put all your eggs in one basket,' does not apply to a man's life-work.
