Mark Twain on Living Honestly

"“We needed three dollars and I didn’t know where to get it. While we were in a quandary I espied a valuable dog on the street. I picked up the canine and sold him to a man for three dollars. Afterward the dog owner of the dog came along and I got three dollars from him for telling where the dog was. So I went back and gave the three dollars to the man whom I sold it to, and I have lived honestly ever since.”
- Mark Twain

Hat Tip: David Askaripour. David has a great series of blog posts on how his first business, which he invested $12,000 into, was unsuccessful. I've definitely made the same mistakes and seen others do it too. Hopefully, by reading his posts you can avoid the same mistakes.
