Quotes to ponder:

"The consultants were a fascinating bunch to watch. They had no trouble finding ways to blow all of their new wealth very quickly."

"Bad Car Bill lived the frugal life, saving and investing his money. Same old clothes, same old car and same old lunch in a paper sack from wherever home was."

"Every once in a while, I think back on my days at that job, sitting on the patio at work eating lunch, I like to think he was laughing on the inside at the rest of them."
