“Money Makes a Difference.

He sees thousands of other people, bookkeepers or clerks or chemists or wagon hands, busy at their work and envies them from the bottom of his soul. They have their independence, their self-respect and manhood…

It is just money which makes this difference in him. With a little money he would be himself again.”

--Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich, 1937
