Never pretend to have money except when you are in straits. The poor man who pretends to have a bank account betters his credit and takes no risk. But the prosperous individual who counts his money in the street, forthwith will be invited to attend a charity bazaar.
George Ade (1960). “The America of George Ade, 1866-1944: Fables, Short Stories, Essays”, New York, Putnam [1960]
