“Both money and art powdered as they are with the romance and poetry of the age are magic. Rather money is magic art is magik. Money is stagecraft slight of hand a bag of clever tricks. Art is a plexus of forces and influences that act upon the senses by means of practical yet permanently inexplicable secret links. Admittedly the line between the two can be as thin as a dime.”
“Making money is art. And working is art. And good business is the best art.”
“I wish art was like money in that the more I made, the more interest it developed and plentiful it became. Money makes money, and if art made art, there’s no prison in this country that could hold my creations.”
“Finance is the art of passing money from hand to hand until it finally disappears.”
“Two forces are succesfully influencing the education of a cultivated man: art and science. Both are united in the book.”
“It is a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.”
