“Moments are the elements of profit”
“Writing: Turning one's worst moments into profit.”
“Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives. ”
“What was any art but an effort to make a sheath, a mold in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself.”
“Man is essentially a dreamer, wakened sometimes for a moment by some peculiarly obtrusive element in the outer world, but lapsing again quickly into the happy somnolence of imagination.”
“When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses.”
