- Very interesting article written by Bob ! Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz---the Swiss naturalist and lecturer, and resident of United States after 1847, was once offered a large sum of money for a course of lectures at a western college, then people were stunned to hear his reply : “I CAN NOT AFFORD TO WASTE MY TIME MAKING MONEY”. This fact is reported in the book, “Recollection of Eminent Men”, BY Edwin Percy Whipple ; and this historic statement by a litterateur fully corroborates the theme of Bob Goldman’s article. The 19th century American wit poet and novelist, Oliver Wendell Holmes’ poetry, “Our Banker”, is also inversely proportional to the text matter of Bob’s article, ; Holme’s poetry says : HE KEEPS ALL HIS CUSTOMERS STILL IN ARREARS---BY LENDING THEM MINUTES AND CHARGING THEM YEARS.
