Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to his Son (Illustrated)

by George Horace Lorimer

You’ll find that education’s about the only thing lying around loose in this world, and that it’s about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he’s willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and the screw-driver lost.

And the only way to show a fellow that he’s chosen the wrong business is to let him try it. If it really is the wrong thing you won’t have to argue with him to quit, and if it isn’t you haven’t any right to.

Easy-come money never draws interest; easy-borrowed dollars pay usury.
