J.P. MORGAN

A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason.

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you're not going to stay where you are.

I don't want to have anything to do with your money. I want your cooperation.

A man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom.

Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see further.

When asked what the stock market would do, Morgan replied: It will fluctuate.
