You always get exaggerated notions about things you don't know anything about.
Spending creates more wealth for everybody.
Many of us think of salespeople as people travelling around with sample kits. Instead, we are all salesman, every day of our lives.

Nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course.
One of the most successful men I have known never carried a watch until he began to earn ten thousand dollars a year.

Somebody's buying these treasury bills at 120th of one percent. I mean we consuming about $2 billion a day of goods and services beyond what we're producing. As long as we consume more than we produce, and we trade away little pieces of the country daily, they're going to own something. Now, they can't run from American assets. I mean every day the rest of the world is going to have about two billion more of American assets than we have, as long as they sell us these goods.
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
There's no place where one can breathe as freely as on the deck of a ship.
