The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.

Make money and the whole nation will conspire to call you a gentleman.

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.

Principles without programs are platitudes.

Money is indeed the most important thing in the world; and all sound and successful personal and national morality should have this fact for its basis.

HIGGINS. Have you no morals, man? DOOLITTLE [unabashed] Cant afford them, Governor. Neither could you if you was as poor as me.

A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.
