“Bill Marriott demonstrates that a man can be a religious leader as well as a giant in business. He has attained a reputation as a man of wealth, but he accepts the premise the earth is the Lord’s, and that he is the steward of the things in it for the benefit of mankind.”
― J. Willard Marriott

“Allie knew that problems didn’t really bother Bill. In fact, he welcomed them. He often said life was an obstacle course. And that’s how you got ahead–by meeting and overcoming obstacles.”
― J. Willard Marriott

“What Emerson said on almost every page was that to grow strong and tall and self-reliant, you needed obstacles to overcome. You needed adversities to challenge you and bring out the best in you. And the bigger and tougher the obstacle, the stronger you grew in character and self confidence and in the ability to succeed.”
― J. Willard Marriott

“The mornings broke with the tinkling of his alarm at 4am, the lighting of the oil burner to warm his room, and the kerosene map to see by.”
