The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it in your back pocket.

Will Rogers
About This Quote

This quote is in reference to this idea of putting money in your back pocket. This has nothing to do with folding paper currency in half. It is about the practice of investing in one's business or company, then taking a profit when it reaches a point where you can reinvest the profits with higher returns. The basic idea of this practice is to take the money you've made, fold it in half, and put it away. You'll begin with 100% of your original investment, but when your investment hits 2x -- or double -- you'll start earning interest on your profits.
