Harvey S. Firestone

"I believe fundamental honesty is the keystone of business."

"If you have ideas, you have the main asset you need, and there isn't any limit to what you can do with your business and your life. Ideas are any man's greatest asset."

"Our company is built on people - those who work for us, and those we do business with."

"It is only as we develop others that we permanently succeed."

"Capital isn't that important in business. Experience isn't that important. You can get both of these things. What is important is ideas."

"The secret of my success is a two word answer: Know people."
