There are three sides of an arguement -- your side, my side and the right side.

Men are like bank accounts.
Without a lot of money they don't generate a lot of interest.

Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.

I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

In youth you learn, in age you understand.


One for where I live: "Summer always take its winter break in Portugal."

I have but the simplest tastes, I am always satisfied with the best.

It is better to be rich and in good health, than poor and sickly.

"The king was thoughtful for some time. Then he asked, "Why should so few men be able to acquire all the gold?" "Because they know how," replied the Chancellor. "One may not condemn a man for succeeding because he knows how. Neither may one with justice take away from a man what he has fairly earned, to give to men of less ability."" - The Richest Man in Babylon, by George S. Clason.

Let those Occupiers read that.
