Topics include wealth ("If you can actually count your money, then you are not really a rich man."—J. Paul Getty); investing ("Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for ten years."—Warren Buffett); success ("The secret of success is to do common things uncommonly well."—John D. Rockefeller); and leadership ("The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks."—Rupert Murdoch). In addition are proverbs, quips, and other commentary on all aspects of having a fortune.
