Quote by Honore de Balzac

Finance, like time, devours its own children.

Finance, like time, devours its own children.

Summary

This quote suggests that the world of finance, much like time, has a way of consuming or destroying its own offspring or products. It implies that within the financial system, there is a tendency for new ideas, innovations, or individuals to be overshadowed, absorbed, or even destroyed by the very system they emerge from. Thus, it highlights the challenging and unforgiving nature of the finance industry, where original concepts or individuals can struggle to gain recognition or longevity amidst fierce competition and the continuous evolution of the field.
