Daniel Defoe
Image

Daniel Defoe
Image
A rich man is an honest man--no thanks to him for he would be a double knave, to cheat mankind when he had no need of it: he has no occasion to press upon his integrity, nor so much as to touch upon the borders of dishonesty.
Daniel Defoe

Pleasure is a thief to business.
Daniel Defoe
Image
He that Opposes his own Judgment against the Current of the Times, ought to be back'd with unanswerable Truths and he that has that Truth on his Side, is a Fool, as well as a Coward, if he is afraid to own it, because of the Currency or Multitude of other Mens Opinions.
Daniel Defoe

Wit, like the Belly, if it be not fed, Will starve the Members, and distract the Head.
