No young man starting in life could have better capital than plenty of friends. they will strengthen his credit, support him in every great effort, and make him what, unaided, he could never be. friends of the right sort will help him more - to be happy and successful - than much money.

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

Where you want to be is always in control, never wishing, always trading, and always first and foremost protecting your ass. that's why most people lose money as individual investors or traders because they're not focusing on losing money. they need to focus on the money that they have at risk and how much capital is at risk in any single investment they have. if everyone spent 90 percent of their time on that, not 90 percent of the time on pie-in-the-sky ideas on how much money they're going to make, then they will be incredibly successful investors.

Debt Pay Cards
Money can help you to get medicines but not health. money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. attain the supreme wealth, wisdom; you will have everything.

For after all, what is there behind, except money? money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to italy. money writes books, money sells them. give me not righteousness, o lord, give me money, only money.

Afterwards, in bed with a book, the spell of television feels remote compared to the journey into the page. to be in a book. to slip into the crease where two pages meet, to live in the place where your eyes alight upon the words to ignite a world of smoke and peril, colour and serene delight. that is a journey no one can end with the change of a channel. enduring magic.
