Petrus Borel quotes
-
“To get rich, one must have but a single idea, one fixed, hard, immutable thought: the desire to make a heap of gold. And in order to increase this heap of gold, one must be inflexible, a usurer, thief, extortionist, and murderer! And one must especially mistreat the small and the weak! And when this mountain of gold has been amassed, one can climb up on it, and from up on the summit, a smile on one's lips, one can contemplate the valley of poor wretches that one has created.”
-- Petrus Borel -
“It is only on the basis of the probable and the apparent that men bereft of a sixth sense are able to sit in judgment over other men.”
-- Petrus Borel -
“I do not believe that one can become rich without being a shark; a sensitive man will never amass wealth.”
-- Petrus Borel -
“In Paris there are two dens, one for thieves, the other for murderers. The den of thieves is the Stock Exchange; the den of murderers is the Courthouse.”
-- Petrus Borel -
