Quote 76

"When they give birth to a son, they put honey on his mouth and place glue in his palms so that when he grows up, he will speak sweet words and grasp coins in his hand as if they were glued there ...

They are good at trading, love profit, and go abroad at the age of twenty. They are everywhere profit is to be found."
