"A man without money is a man without a voice. My father taught me this at twelve. I spent fifty years proving him right, not because of greed. Let me be clear about that, because of what money actually is. When you strip away the vulgarity people attach to it, it is options. The ability to say no. The protection of everyone you love. The right to leave a room. When you choose, a man without money can be made to stay. Made to agree. Made to swallow what he should refuse. It is not wealth for its own sake. It is sovereignty. Follow me for what they should teach, but never do."
