Lie, cheat, steal, and deceive, but never pay. Always have a backup plan. Don't take any slips of wood-pressed latinum. Never buy an ale from a God-fearing people. Never acquire tomorrow what you can embezzle today.
Good contracts are like fractals.
The deeper you look, the more complicated they get. Latinum is a Ferengi's best friend. Avoid doing business with a telepath. The more area you cover, the more profit you make. Oo-mox and profit do not mix.
