• El comerciante adecuado es aquel que posee la media justa de facultades que llamamos sentido común; un hombre con una gran afinidad por los hechos, que toma su decisión basándose en lo que ha visto. Está completamente persuadido de las verdades de la aritmética. Siempre hay una razón, en el hombre, para su buena o mala fortuna a la hora de ganar dinero. Los hombres hablan como si hubiera magia en esto. Él sabe que todo sigue el viejo camino, libra por libra, centavo por centavo - para cada efecto una causa perfecta - y que la buena suerte es otro nombre para la tenacidad del propósito.
