Cornelius Vanderbilt

I'm tired of working for somebody else.

I ain't got time for dyspepsia. Nor heart trouble. Nor family. I got a h*ll of a job to chew off.

I'm too big a fellow to live in Staten Island. My name means something in Wall Street.

I don't aim to stop with one [steam] boat.

Law! What do I care about the law? Hain’t I got the power?

I have always served the public interest by serving my own.

Money is power.

I have always found that if I worked hard enough, I could achieve anything.

The best way to make money is to buy when everyone else is selling.

I don’t care what the newspapers say about me as long as they spell my name right.

I have never been afraid of competition.

The only thing that matters is winning.

I have always been a man of action, not words.

The best investment is in yourself.

I have never been afraid to take risks.

The only way to succeed is to work harder than anyone else.

I have always believed in myself.

The only thing that counts is results.

I have always been a fighter.

The only way to win is to play by your own rules.
