Human nature Quote by Edward Rutherfurd

“Human nature, gentleman. It is original sin that leads men to misfortune, every time. I am a speculator in the market, gentlemen, and that is part of God's plan. Men only learn through suffering. So I punish human weakness, and God rewards me.” quote by Edward Rutherfurd
