I take pride in the creation of my wealth, in its existence and in the uses to which it has been and is being put.

I have never been given to envy – save for the envy I feel toward those people who have the ability to make a marriage work and endure happily.

I can afford to say what I wish.

I am neither a homosexual nor a eunuch, nor have I ever taken any vows of chastity.

You cannot bring about prosperity without discouraging thrift.
