I don't care half so much about making money as I do about making my point, and coming out ahead.

Never tell anyone what you are going to do till you've done it.

There is no friendship in trade.

It is not according to my mode of doing things, to bring a suit against a man that I have the power in my own hands to punish.

I have always served the public to the best of my ability. Why? Because, like every other man, it is to my interest to do so.

You have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for the law is too slow. I'll ruin you.

I have been insane on the subject of money-making all my life.
