Stephen Crane
About This Quote

People who gamble are not always poor. Some of them are actually quite wealthy people. Gambling is a way to make money, and there are many ways to make money. One person might win a lot of money at the casino, and another person might invest in a business that turns out to be really successful. The point is that we need not always be poor and struggling if we want to gamble and make money.
