" The truest thing my father said to me when I was a boy was that rich men deal in only one thing, and that is time. Time is the most precious resource any man has; however he chooses to spend it, he won’t get any more. The great trick people like my father play is to convince others to undervalue it, or to force its devaluation, by holding it hostage for food, a roof, a pair of shoes. The rich pay slivers on the slate for every hour they steal. That’s why they’re rich. "
