I think working with the primal elements of fire and earth appealed greatly to my father because of the almost magical results.

I'm not going to run around uselessly spending money. It's a matter of choosing your charity. Some people choose themselves. For me, that is not enough.

I loved being my father's audience and watching him in front of the mirror as he talked to himself made up like a clown.

No woman marries for money; they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him first.

Horrible things happen when you run out of other people's money, and life and work becomes a burden when there is no reward for your effort.

Stop spending money you don't have.

A man is usually more careful of his money than he is of his principles.
