“Never pay more for an acquisition than you have to.”
“No man acquires property without acquiring with it a little arithmetic, also.”
“People find gold in fields, veins, river beds and pockets. Whichever, it takes work to get it out.”
“The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing; and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs, they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.”
“We go to gain a little patch of ground That hath in it no profit but the name.”
“An end to our gettings is the only end to our losses.”
