Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or money:
“He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My boy ... always try to rub up against money, for if you rub up against money long enough, some of it may rub off on you.”
—Damon Runyon (1884–1946)
