Money alone is absolutely good, because it is not only a concrete satisfaction of one need in particular; it is an abstract satisfaction of all.

Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another's money. Idiots!

Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.

The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind; the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.

Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
