“Business? Why, it's very simple: business is other people's money.”
Les affaires, c'est bien simple, c'est l'argent des autres.
La Question d'argent (1857), Act II, sc. vii; translation from Frederick Brown Theater and Revolution (New York: Viking Press, 1980) p. 5.
“Money is only a tool in business.”
Source: My Life and Work (1922), p. 157
Context: Money is only a tool in business. It is just a part of the machinery. You might as well borrow 100,000 lathes as $100,000 if the trouble is inside your business. More lathes will not cure it; neither will more money. Only heavier doses of brains and thought and wise courage can cure. A business that misuses what it has will continue to misuse what it can get.
As quoted in Steve Jobs (2011) by Walter Isaacson, p. 570
