It has always been more difficult for a man to keep than to get; for, in the one case, fortune aids, which often assists injustice; but, in the other case, sense is required. Therefore, we often see a person deficient in cleverness rise to wealth; and then, from want of sense, roll head over heels to the bottom. - Giambattista Basile Buy what thou hast no need of, and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessaries. - Benjamin Franklin There are men born under that constellation which maketh them, I know not how, as unapt to enrich themselves as they are ready to impoverish others. - Richard Hooker
