Was there ever such an autumn? And yet there was never such a panic and hard times in the commercial world. The merchants and banks are suspending and failing all the country over, but not the sandbanks, solid and warm, and streaked with bloody blackberry vines.You may run upon them as much as you please--even as the crickets do, and find their account in it. They are the stockholders in these banks, and I hear them creaking their content.

It is awfully important to know what is and what is not your business.

Gertrude Stein

A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

Ernest Hemingway

On the Brevity of Our TiesTies in this world last only for a time. We are husband and wife, parent and child, for a short period only. Once this reality sinks in, we cannot help treasuring each moment of our brief association.

Ruth Ann Minner

A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health.

Clarence Day

I never viewed money as being 'my money' I always saw it as 'the money.' It's a resource. If it pools up around me then it needs to be flushed back out into the system.

Louis C. K.

Talent without working hard is nothing.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Apparently, conspiracy stuff is now shorthand for unspeakable truth.

Gore Vidal

In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.

Raoul Vaneigem

The poetry of a people comes from the deep recesses of the unconscious, the irrational and the collective body of our ancestral memories.
