“You feel a certain way in a glass or concrete or limestone building. It has an effect on your skin - the same with plywood or veneer, or solid timber.

“Money and electricity are much alike. Both are stored energy. Living amidst electricity, using it constantly, you take its presence and its utility for granted. Treated with respect, it is constructive, tireless. Treated with disrespect, it is destructive, vicious. It will light your way, pull a twelve-car train from Washington to New York in a bit more than four hours, kill you or burn your house alike. Electricity is insulated, though, and children are not permitted to play with it.” WayChildrenPlayLightHouseEnergyBitsHoursMoneyFourCarNew YorkTrainTreatedGrantedDestructiveTwelveElectricityViciousUtilityConstructiveDisrespect Book:Father Struck It Rich Source: Father Struck It Rich
