Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.

Money is good for nothing unless you know the value of it by experience.

True economy consists in always making the income exceed the outgo.

The common man, no matter how sharp and tough, actually enjoys having the wool pulled over his eyes, and makes it easier for the puller.

Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.

The truth is, the more kind and liberal a man is, the more generous will be the patronage bestowed upon him.
