A brief summary of George Clason’s book The Richest Man in Babylon.
- Our acts can be no wiser than out thought. Our thinking can be no wiser than our understanding.
- Learning was of two kinds: the one kind being the thing we learned and knew; and the other being the training that taught us how to find out what we did not know?
- Opportunity is a haughty goddess who wastes no time with these who are unprepared.
- If a man be lucky, there is no foretelling then possible extent of his good fortune. Pitch him into the Euphrates and like as not he will swim out with a pearl in his hand. ~Babylonian Proverb
- Men of action are favored by the Goddess of the Good Luck.
- The hungrier one becomes, the clearer one’s mind works.
- The soul of a free man looks at life as a series of problem to be solved and solves them, while the soul of a slave whines, ‘what can I do, who am I by a slave?’.
- Where the determination is, they way can be found.
