BANKER
A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.

BUSINESS
There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can't afford it, and when he can.
- Following the Equator, Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar

- Mark Twain, a Biography

Prosperity is the best protector of principle.
- Following the Equator

The primary rule of business success is loyalty to your employer. That's all right--as a theory. What is the matter with loyalty to yourself?
- Speech, 3/30/1901

ECONOMY

MATHEMATICS
We could use up two Eternities in learning all that is to be learned about our own world and the thousands of nations that have arisen and flourished and vanished from it. Mathematics alone would occupy me eight million years.
