“Money is of a prolific generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more.”

“If you are five minutes early, you are already ten minutes late.”

“I've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.”

“He was always late on principle, his principle being that punctuality is the thief of time.”

“Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.”
