"An annuity is a very serious business...." - Quote by Jane Austen

“If this man had not twelve thousand a year, he would be a very stupid fellow.”

“To love is to burn, to be on fire.”

“A woman of seven and twenty, said Marianne, after pausing a moment, can never hope to feel or inspire affection again.”

“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.”

“The strongest force in the universe is Compound Interest.”

“Any so-called stimulus program is a ruse. The government can increase its spending only by reducing private spending equivalently.”

“When people say money doesn't matter, it sure as hell does when you're able to show your mother a beach house and then hand her the keys to it. That was one of the happiest moments of my life.”

“But the meaning of life is not . . . explained by one's business life, nor is the deep desire of the human heart answered by a bank account.”

“Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they're attached to dollar signs - unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendants who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.”
