Can't Pay? Don't Buy! Can't Get Paid, Don't Sell: Franklin

"If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad." -- Benjamin Franklin

Incoming Payments Seem Smaller than Outgoing Payment

"We all know how the size of sums of money appears to vary in a remarkable way according as they are being paid in or paid out" -- Julian Huxley
