    “The universal regard for money is the one hopeful fact in our civilisation. Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honour, generosity and beauty.... Not the least of its virtues is that it destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people, whose breasts he has made his peculiar deposit for substantial and genuine virtue.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Grand Hotel. Always the same. People come. People go. Nothing ever happens.”
    —William A. Drake (1900–1965)
