Always remember this, Henri. Men trade for profit. They are driven by greed. But debt is about fear, and fear is stronger than greed. The true power, the weapon that defeats all others, is debt. Fools search for gold. The wise man studies debt. That is the key to all business. Edward Rutherfurd
About This Quote

What the wise man says is usually true. So if the wise man says to pay off your debts, yes it’s true. But what about the other side of this coin? What about the fact that if you don’t then you will end up in debt? And that’s where greed comes into play. When people are greedy they try to get as much as they can out of a situation before it’s too late. It is a case of “If I can’t have it, neither can you.” That may seem logical but there is a very fine line between being greedy and being smart.
