Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


"You'd make a good soap-boxer," Tom commended, "if only you'd get
the kinks straightened out in your reasoning."


"It sounds all right, Bert," Billy said, "only it ain't. Any man
can get rich to-day--"


"Or be president of the United States," Bert snapped. "Sure
thing--if he's got it in him. Just the same I ain't heard you
makin' a noise like a millionaire or a president. Why? You ain't
got it in you. You're a bonehead. A plug. That's why. Skiddoo for
you. Skiddoo for all of us."
