Samuel Butler
  • Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

  • A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

  • The seven deadly sins: Want of money, bad health, bad temper, chastity, family ties, knowing that you know things, and believing in the Christian religion.

  • The worst thing that can happen to a man is to lose his money, the next worst his health, the next worst his reputation.

  • Brigands demand your money or your life women require both.
