A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

Anyone who has to ask about the annual upkeep of a yacht can't afford one.

The wise man bridges the gap by laying out the path by means of which he can get from where he is to where he wants to go.

If that's all he can get, and he takes it, I should say it's enough.

Congress should know how to levy taxes, and if it doesn't know how to collect them, then a man is a fool to pay the taxes.

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason. Let us be like the man of the frontier and always reveal with utmost honesty our real reasons for all that we do.

Gold is money. Everything else is credit.
