Never forget that, when honestly made, the money which comes to you in
the pursuit of your legitimate vocation, is... the measure of your worth
in the community you serve. -from "How Riches Take Wings" In these
uncertain economic times, the wisdom of self-help pioneer Orison Swett
Marden is just as vital today as it was a century ago. A forerunner of
Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale, Stephen R. Covey and Anthony
Robbins, and one of the prime figures in the early motivational
movement, Marden explains why learning to manage money is the key to
personal happiness and security. In inspiring terms, he explores: . the
foundations of fortune . how to say "No!" to the temptation to buy . the
hidden costs of debt . the unspoken requirement for making money . how
saving small amounts can set you on the road to wealth . how "judicious
liberality promotes prosperity" . and much more. First published in
1901, Economy makes plain that money is "an excellent servant but a
terrible master." Also available from Cosimo Classics: Marden's
two-volume Pushing to the Front and Cheerfulness as a Life Power.
American writer and editor ORISON SWETT MARDEN (1850-1924) was born in
New England and studied at Boston University and Andover Theological
Seminary. In 1897, he founded Success Magazine.
