I haven't got as much money as some folks, but I've got as much impudence as any of them, and that's the next thing to money.

Half of the troubles of this life can be traced to saying yes too quickly and not saying no soon enough.

Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there.

The happiest time in any man's life is when he is in red-hot pursuit of a dollar with a reasonable prospect of overtaking it.

A man running for office puts me in mind of a dog that's lost-he smells everybody he meets, and wags himself all over.

I would much rather always look forward to the time when I am going to ride in a carriage, than to look back on the time when I used to.

Money will buy a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail.
