Who is Sam Ewig?

Question

He has a famous quote about hard work, but I've done a ton of searching and can't find any biographical information about him. I can't understand how someone can be famous enough to have a quote circulating without any details about his life being available.

Anything would be appreciated, I just want to make sure he's not a member of the Nazi party before I use his quote :)

Sam Ewing has been a professional writer since age 14 in 1935 when he was
a reporter at the Vicksburg Evening Post and Morning Herald in Vicksburg,
Mississippi. He also announced for WQBC, the local radio station.

During the past 50 years Sam has produced five non-fiction books,
dozens of self-help film, hundreds of magazine articles and witticisms.

Sam's writing was done free lance while he worked in TV, radio,
advertising agencies and cable as a sales and program executive.

He attended the University of San Francisco until World Was II when
he joined Naval Intelligence for three and a half years, serving both
in the U.S. and in the Aleutians. In Dutch harbor, Alaska, Sam edited
a daily Armed Forces paper, the Harbor News.

Now semi-retired with his wife Karol of 36-plus years, he concentrates on
producing short humor and magazine pieces.
