"Money is the string with which a sardonic destiny directs the motions of its puppets." ― W. Somerset Maugham Topic(s): Money More From W. Somerset Maugham "An unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones." "Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build up its institutions, promote all its great interests, and see whether we also, in our day and generation, may not perform something worthy to be remembered." "It’s no good trying to keep up old friendships. It’s painful for both sides. The fact is, one grows out of people, and the only thing is to face it."
