“A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.”

“A gentleman is simply a patient wolf.”

“The really essential factors of success in any undertaking are money and opportunity, and as a rule, the man who can make the first can make the second.”

“What is it that makes a seemingly rational man set out on a perilous journey knowing full well that the odds of success are quite remote and the consequences of failure are likely to be devastating? Is it pride, stubbornness, a yearning for adventure, or just a reckless disregard of reality?”

“No man can choose to serve only himself when he has something to offer his state. No one can put his own wishes above the needs of so many.”

“A woman who dreams of a good home with a man who holds for her only a poor love is putting a $50 saddle on a $20 horse. She'd be far better off single than riding with him.”

“Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.”
