John Jacob Astor

Excerpt

The man who makes it the habit of his life to go to bed at nine
o’clock, usually gets rich and is always reliable.  Of course, going to
bed does not make him rich—­I merely mean that such a man will in all
probability be up early in the morning and do a big day’s work, so his
weary bones put him to bed early.  Rogues do their work at night. 
Honest men work by day.  It’s all a matter of habit, and good habits in
America make any man rich.  Wealth is a result of habit.
