“True economy means the wisest expenditure of what we have, everything ...” — Orison Swett Marden Quote

“True economy means the wisest expenditure of what we have, everything considered, looking at it from the broadest standpoint. It is not a good thing to save a nickel at the expenditure of twenty-five cents' worth of time.”

“It is every one's sacred duty to keep himself in a condition to do the biggest thing possible to him.”

“The great opportunity belongs to him who can see it, to him who can grasp it. The better part of your chance is right inside of you.”

“I plowed fields with horses and worked as a hired hand in high school for 50 cents a day.”

“I've worked in construction, in a factory sewing clothes. I also sold flowers and doughnuts - just odd jobs to try to make 10 pesos, which is equivalent to 20 cents.”

“I really consider myself a writer, and a writer who is sometimes a social critic. I'm not an ideologue, I don't join a party. I follow along and take notes. Sometimes I throw in my two cents.”
