Orison Swett Marden Quote

"To many a man, and sometimes to a youth,
there comes the opportunity to choose
between honorable competence and tainted wealth.
The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable,
holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success."

" Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor." Proverbs 16:19, 19:22, 28:8  -- Ronw13, Oregon      2
Excellent citations, Ronw13. Thank you.  -- Patrick Henry, Red Hill

You are what you eat! Money, food, energy -- where it comes from and how one gets it plays a significant role in the final product. What was the intent that birthed it and nourished it? It is not whether you win or lose but how you play the game. ;-)  -- E Archer, NYC      2
