If you will not while you may, you shall not when you will. Investing is not the same as gambling, and downtown is not the same as uptown. It is a great thing to die in your own bed, though it is better still to die in your boots. Eager to please, and a nuisance. Easy to please, and a comfort. Big prizes make many losers. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil. And always remember, the longer you live, The sooner you bloody well die. To be born is to fall down the chimney of a strange house. The temptation in business, politics, and public health is to judge everything by one number. Wealth adds to strength, but multiplies weakness. To do good is virtuous, and to wish good to be done is amiable, but to wish to do good is as vain as it is vain. Never being in love is like never being in debt. If you never do anything stupid, you're not as smart as you think.
