To Survive Successful

I am reading Jason Manolopoulos's Greece's Odious Debt - an accessible successor to Mark Mazower - together with ane that reminds y'all that attitudes to things similar taxation collectors depend on history. (In Hellenic Republic for event Manolopolulos argues that under Ottoman rule non paying taxes - essentially poll taxes on Christians was highly honorable. This still influences Greek tradition.)

Chapter Two yet starts amongst ane of the best quotes I accept always seen:

To endure successful, proceed looking tanned, alive inwards an elegant edifice (even if you're inwards the cellar), endure seen inwards smart restaurants (even if y'all nurse ane drink) together with if y'all borrow, borrow big. 

-Aristotle Onassis

Seldom accept I seen a business/political philosophy together with therefore diametrically opposed to mine stated together with therefore clearly. And exemplars abound - mean value Angelo Mozilo in American finance or Andrew Peacock inwards Australian politics.

Just a fabulous quote together with a basis persuasion that seems to function for the people who concord it if non for the residual of us...
