Quote

No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.

The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.

I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt.

Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.

I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.

There's something very beautiful and compelling about someone who has ambition and someone who knows what they want, but it can get a little frustrating at times, so I understand that. I have sympathy for that.

There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge.

Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
