Man was born to be rich, or grow rich by use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players.

Ralph Waldo EmersonEverything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.
