CORNELIUS VANDERBILT

Gentlemen, You have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for law is too slow. I'll ruin you. Yours truly, Cornelius Vanderbilt

Never tell anyone what you are going to do till you've done it.

There is no friendship in trade.

If I had learned education I would not have had time to learn anything else.

What do I care about law? Ain't I got the power?

It is not according to my mode of doing things, to bring a suit against a man that I have the power in my own hands to punish.

I am not afraid of my enemies, but by God, you must look out when you get among your friends.

You have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for the law is too slow. I'll ruin you.

I don't care half so much about making money as I do about making my point, and coming out ahead.

I have always served the public to the best of my ability. Why? Because, like every other man, it is to my interest to do so.

I have been insane on the subject of moneymaking all my life.
