The old thought that one cannot be rich except at the expense of his neighbor, must pass away. True prosperity adds to the richness of the whole world, such as that of the man who makes two trees grow where only one grew before.

'My benefit is your benefit, your success is my success,' should be the basis of all our wealth.
