Gain

Quotes



My argument is: keep the bloody bottom line at the bottom. That's where it should be.

Quoted in The Adventure Capitalists (1998)
Nobody's going to win all the time. On the highway of life you can't always be in the fast lane.

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
You never gain something but that you lose something
An evil gain equals a loss
Living in a constant chase after gain compels people to expend their spirit to the point of exhaustion
And gain is gain, however small.
