"If one is guided by profit in..." - Quote by Confucius

“A wise man seeks by music to strengthen his soul: the thoughtless one uses it to stifle his fears.”

“If I cannot get men who steer a middle course to associate with, I would far rather have the impetuous and hasty. For the impetuous at any rate assert themselves.”

“All things are nourished together without their injuring one another. The courses of the seasons, and of the sun and moon, are pursued without any collision among them. The smaller energies are like river currents; the greater energies are seen in mighty transformations. It is this which makes heaven and earth so great.”

“One's own self or material goods, which has more worth?Loss (of self) or possession (of goods), which is the greater evil?He who loves most, spends most,He who hoards much loses much”

“He who has once begun to live by rapine always finds reasons for taking what is not his.”

“Money is therefore not only the object but also the fountainhead of greed.”

“Inside an organization there are only cost centers. The only profit center is a customer whose check has not bounced.”

“Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.”

“Knowledge of the investment is most profitable”
