“Sophistication is understanding the difference between trinkets and treasures.”
“Sophisticated people
don’t leave early. The man says, ‘Yeah, but I want to beat the traffic.’
Isn’t that a great skill to have - beating the traffic!”
“Money doesn’t make you
sophisticated. Only study and practice make you sophisticated. Even
people of modest means can become sophisticated because it is within
study and practice. How much is a night out at the symphony? About
thirty dollars. You say, ‘Poor people can’t afford thirty dollars to go
to the symphony.’ Yes, they can. It’s only thirty Hershey bars!”
“We must teach our
children not to spend their money a dollar at a time. If you spend your
money a dollar at a time, you’ll wind up with trinkets instead of
treasures. You can’t buy much of value a dollar at a time.”
