The game is what counts.
Aristotle Onassis

I have no friends and no enemies - only competitors.
Aristotle Onassis

If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.
Aristotle Onassis

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Aristotle Onassis

The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.
Aristotle Onassis

To succeed in business it is necessary to make others see things as you
see them.
Aristotle Onassis

We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must
learn to sail in high winds.
Aristotle Onassis

2. I always have believed
that the love of money is the root of all evil

really it is the power that money symbolizes, the love or lust of that, that drives the most evil things isn't it?
