Quote

The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.

Every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.

Every man is the architect of his own fortune.

Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.

To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.

Every man is dishonest who lives upon the labor of others, no matter if he occupies a throne.

Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.

It is a wise father that knows his own child.

The fool inherits, but the wise must get.
