160 THINK AND GROW RICH
1181 accumulate riches in large amounts. Those not so fortunate may accumulate
1182 smaller amounts. Anyone may earn a living in return for a very nominal amount
1183 of labor.
1184 So, there you are!
1185 OPPORTUNITY has spread its wares before you. Step up to the front, select
1186 what you want, create your plan, put the plan into action, and follow through
1187 with PERSISTENCE. "Capitalistic" America will do the rest. You can depend
1188 upon this much – CAPITALISTIC AMERICA INSURES EVERY PERSON
1189 THE OPPORTUNITY TO RENDER USEFUL SERVICE, AND TO
1190 COLLECT RICHES IN PROPORTION TO THE VALUE OF THE
1191 SERVICE.
1192 The "System" denies no one this right, but it does not, and cannot promise
1193 SOMETHING FOR NOTHING, because the system, itself, is irrevocably
1194 controlled by the LAW OF ECONOMICS which neither recognizes nor
1195 tolerates for long, GETTING WITHOUT GIVING.
1196 The LAW OF ECONOMICS was passed by Nature! There is no Supreme Court
1197 to which violators of this law may appeal. The law hands out both penalties for
1198 its violation, and appropriate rewards for its observance, without interference or
1199 the possibility of interference by any human being. The law cannot be repealed.
1200 It is as fixed as the stars in the heavens, and subject to, and a part of the same
1201 system that controls the stars.
1202 May one refuse to adapt one's self to the LAW OF ECONOMICS?
1203 Certainly! This is a free country, where all men are born with equal rights,
1204 including the privilege of ignoring the LAW OF ECONOMICS.
1205 What happens then?
1206 Well, nothing happens until large numbers of men join forces for the avowed
1207 purpose of ignoring the law, and taking what they want by force.
