But what can you do?
It's all very fine to talk, but we've got to live.

I sha'n't be such an ass as to run into the street and say, 'I gave ten cents a yard for those goods, but you must pay me twenty.' Not at all.

It's other men's business to find that out if they can.

It's a great game, business is, and the smartest chap wins.

Every body knows we are going to get the largest price we can.
