Eight Pillars of Prosperity (Version 2), The by James Allen (1864 - 1912)

“Prosperity, like a house, is a roof over a man’s head, affording him protection and comfort. A roof presupposes a support, and a support necessitates a foundation. The roof of prosperity, then, is supported by the following eight pillars which are cemented in a foundation of moral consistency:<br />1. Energy<br />2. Economy<br />3. Integrity<br />4. System<br />5. Sympathy<br />6. Sincerity<br />7. Impartiality<br />8. Self-reliance<br />A business built up on the faultless practice of all these principles would be so firm and enduring as to be invincible.” - Summary by James Allen
