Modern Financial

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or financial:

    And, in fine, the ancient precept, “Know thyself,” and the modern precept, “Study nature,” become at last one maxim.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    What people don’t realize is that intimacy has its conventions as well as ordinary social intercourse. There are three cardinal rules—don’t take somebody else’s boyfriend unless you’ve been specifically invited to do so, don’t take a drink without being asked, and keep a scrupulous accounting in financial matters.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
