26 REDS & A BOTTLE OF WINE

"Frankly, a great deal of nonsense gets itself said and printed about the
advantages of economy. The best equipment a young man can have, starting out
in life, is a bundle of wants. He should want to smoke good cigars; want to
get his clothes made by the best tailor; want to dine at the best tables;
want to to flirt with the prettiest women; want to belong to the best club;
want to have his turn at Monte Carlo and spin his yacht in the Adriatic;
want, in a word, the best and most of everything. Give a young man all the
needs possible. Let him acquire the habit of living largely. That young man
will be no idler. He will find the wherewithal to satisfy his needs. He will
get together the kind of a fortune needed for his ample way of life. You say
that he may fail to work out the equation? Then is he a yellow dog. By no
chance could he have been any use to himself or society. He had best drop
down and run in the common with the yellow-haired fellows of his breed."
