"A man in debt is so far..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Tis a rule of manners to avoid exaggeration.”

“Whenever you are sincerely pleased you are nourished.”

“America means opportunity, freedom, power.”

“I'm concerned a little bit with the culture of celebrating the fundraise. My dad taught me that when you borrow money it's the worst day of your life.”

“Great spenders are bad lenders.”

“Beautiful credit! The foundation of modern society. Who shall say that this is not the golden age of mutual trust, of unlimited reliance upon human promises? That is a peculiar condition of society which enables a whole nation to instantly recognize point and meaning in the familiar newspaper anecdote, which puts into the mouth of a distinguished speculator in lands and mines this remark: -- I wasn't worth a cent two years ago, and now I owe two millions of dollars.”

“No matter how much I wanted all those things that I needed money to buy, there was some devilish current pushing me off in another direction -- toward anarchy and poverty and craziness. That maddening delusion that a man can lead a decent life without hiring himself out as a Judas Goat.”

“Leave us to our free election.”

“It's opener, out there, in the wide, open air.”
