“I have the disadvantage of not being sociable. Wall Street men are fond of company and sport. A man makes one hundred thousand dollars there and immediately buys a yacht, begins to race fast horses, and becomes a sport generally. My tastes lie in a different direction. When business hours are over I go home and spend the remainder of the day with my wife, my children, and books of my library. Every man has natural inclinations of his own. Mine are domestic. They are not calculated to make me particularly popular in Wall Street, and I cannot help that.” MenChildrenBookDifferentHelpingHomeLyingSportsHoursNaturalRaceCompanyWifeStreetsMinesWallTasteThousandHundredHorseDollarsLibraryMy WifeEvery ManMy ChildrenInclinationDisadvantagesDifferent DirectionsYachtSociable Author:Jay Gould
