DeWese--An Interview at Poor Richard's Place

Mañana Man: "What are your parting words for America's print salespeople?"

Super Salesman (studying this question and sipping his drink): "Tell them two things for me. Each year, root out one vicious habit. In time, it will make the worst salesperson good. As you can see, I've allowed two of my worst habits to be my undoing. These two devils have led to my poverty. Next, let them learn from my poverty. Tell them I said poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue; it is hard for an empty bag to stand upright."
