“If what you want, ... is to get rich quickly, then you'll never get rich; but if you want to get rich without asking about time, you'll get rich quickly.”
― Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls

“... with thousands it's hard to be quite sinless, but to make millions is easy. A millionaire has no need to resort to crooked ways. Just go on and take the straight road, take all that lies before you! No one else will pick it up.”
― Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls

“To my thinking there is no vermin in the world worse than a thief. Another takes what you can spare, but a thief steals the work of your hands, the sweat of your brow, your time ...”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, An Honest Thief

“The now ardent youth would jump back in horror if he were shown his own portrait in old age. So take with you on your way, as you pass from youth's tender years into stern, hardening manhood, take with you every humane impulse, do not leave them by the wayside, you will not pick them up later! Terrible, dreadful old age looms ahead, and nothing does it give back again! The grave is more merciful, on the grave it will be written: "Here lies a man!"—but nothing can be read in the cold, unfeeling features of inhuman old age.”
― Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls
