1. Gold comes gladly and in increasing quantity to any man (woman) who will put by not less than one - tenth of his (her) earnings to create an estate for his (her) family.
2. Gold labours diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
3. Gold clings to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men (women) wise in its handling.
4. Gold slips away from the man (woman) who invests it in business or purpose with which he (she) is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.
5. Gold flees the man (woman) who would force it to impossible earning or who follows the alluring advice of trickster and schemers or who trusts it to his (her) own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.
From the book "The Richest Man In Babylon" by George S. Clason.
