Quotes

“The secret of success lies never in the amount of money, but in the relation of income to outgo; as if, after expense has been fixed at a certain point, then new and steady rills of income, though never so small, being added, wealth begins.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson · Wealth, 1860 · Primary source
