There is no
intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the
times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a
shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and
low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the
comforts of life must arise from.
-- Bernard Mandeville

Author, Physician

Get to know
two things about a man. How he earns his money and how he
spends it. You will then have the clue to his character. You
will have a searchlight that shows up the inmost recesses of
his soul. You know all you need to know about his standards,
his motives, his driving desires, his real religion.
-- Robert J. Mccracken
