Quote 12 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

This morning my Lord ... carried me by coach to Mr. Crews, in
the way talking how good he did hope my place would be to me
and, in general, speaking that it was not the salary of any
place that did make a man rich, but the opportunities of
getting money while he is in the place ...
