My father said: ''You must never try to make all the money
that's in a deal. Let the other fellow make some money too, because if you
have a reputation for always making all the money, you won't have many deals.''

The object of living is work, experience, and happiness. There is joy in
work. All that money can do is buy us someone else's work in exchange for

that of any person, whose opinion we ought to value.
Ann Radcliffe
There is some magic in wealth, which can thus make persons pay their court
to it, when it does not even benefit themselves. How strange it is, that a
fool or knave, with riches, should be treated with more respect by the
world, than a good man, or a wise man in poverty!
Ann Radcliffe

instead of going by bus and in going by bus instead of by taxi.
W. Somerset Maugham
Be you in what line of life you may, it will be amongst your misfortunes if

genius itself.

William Jennings Bryan
Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.
Woody Allen
