"What is dishonorably got, is dishonorably squandered...." - Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Endless money forms the sinews of war.[Lat., Nervi belli pecunia infinita.]”

“As I give thought to the matter, I find four causes for the apparent misery of old age; first, it withdraws us from active accomplishments; second, it renders the body less powerful; third, it deprives us of almost all forms of enjoyment; fourth, it stands not far from death.”

“Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself; you will never err if you listen to your own suggestions.”

“I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it.”

“The most that can be said of flattery is that it is sometimes a cheap psychological trick with which charlatans and dishonest people lull others into a state of carelessness while they pick their pockets.”

“The day is for honest men, the night for thieves.”

“Wait 'till I get my money right.”

“Money enables us to get what we want instead of what other people think we want.”

“It is remarkable that there are few men so well employed, so much to their minds, but that a little money or fame would commonly buy them off from their present pursuit.”
