About This Quote

'Able hands' are more favorable to business than 'adorable hearts.' This is a very interesting quote from the great merchant, John Jacob Astor. It means that if you have a great business idea but have no skill or talent, you will have a difficult time getting your idea off the ground. But, if you have a lot of money to invest in projects with your hands and knowledge of the market place, then you will have a good chance of making a lot of money. So please think about what you can do with your 'hands' and not just your 'heart'.
