There's no such thing in this life as
complete satisfaction. If a man has no
money, he is miserable, and if he has
lots of it, it is next to impossible to in
vest it remuneratively. There is no bust
ness which is sure to pay, not even the
business of stealing, but that's because
there are so many persons in it, and
there would be many more in it if the
