“About 95% of people can be compared to ships without rudders. Subject to every shift of wind and tide, they're helplessly adrift. And while they fondly hope that they'll one day drift into a rich and successful port, you and I know that for every narrow harbor entrance, there are a 1,000 miles of rocky coastline. The chances against their drifting into port are 1,000 to one.” PeopleKnowsChanceSuccessfulRichSubjectsWindOne DayMilesShipsTidesHarborsPortEntrancesDriftingRuddersAdriftCoastline Author:Earl Nightingale

“The Democrats say the rich are rich because they stole all of their money or somehow fleeced the poor for all of their money. "If it weren't for these cheating, skunk, lying, rich people, you poor people would have the money! You remember when you had this, right? You remember when you had that house on the beach and your Rolls-Royce, and then one day some rich guy came over and stole it all from you? You remember that?

“Once upon a time there lived in Berlin, Germany, a man called Albinus. He was rich, respectable, happy; one day he abandoned his wife for the sake of a youthful mistress; he loved; was not loved; and his life ended in disaster. This is the whole of the story and we might have left it at that had there not been profit and pleasure in the telling; and although there is plenty of space on a gravestone to contain, bound in moss, the abridged version of a man's life, detail is always welcome.” MenWholeStoriesMightLeftSpacePleasureRichWifeOne DayBoundsSakeProfitDetailsDisasterVersionsWelcomePlentyGermanyAbandonedMistressRespectableBerlinOnce Upon A TimeMossGravestone Book:Laughter in the Dark Source: Laughter in the Dark
