Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam. - Cato the Elder

Those who commit private theft pass their lives in confinement and fetters; plunderers of the public, in gold and purple.

If you are late in doing one thing you will be late in doing everything.

The pursuits of commerce would be as admirable as they are profitable if they were not subject to so great risks: and so, likewise, of banking, if it was always honestly conducted. For our ancestors considered, and so ordained in their laws, that, while the thief should be cast in double damages, the usurer should make four-fold restitution.
