Quotations for profits

Great profits, great risks. [ Chinese Proverb ]

To light a candle at your fire,
Would it deprive your flame of light
Because another profits by it. [ Lloyd ]

The mind profits by the wreck of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrow we have undergone. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]

Equality is one of the most consummate scoundrels that ever crept from the brain of a political juggler - a fellow who thrusts his hand into the pocket of honest industry or enterprising talent, and squanders their hardearned profits on profligate idleness or indolent stupidity. [ Paulding ]

Give me the boy who rouses when he is praised, who profits when he is encouraged and who cries when he is defeated. Such a boy will be fired by ambition; he will be stung by reproach, and aminated by preference; never shall I apprehend any bad consequences from idleness in such a boy. [ Quintilian ]
