For all his riches, Bill Gates could not approach a homeless person and say, “Here’s a $100 bill. I’ll give it to you if you kiss my feet.” Most likely the homeless guy would tell Gates to go to hell.

"If I give you 200 million dollars will you kiss my ass?"
"Sure! Of course I will!"
"Instead, if I give you this 100 dollar bill, will you kiss my feet?"
"Absolutely not! What do you think I am!"
"We already established what you are. Now we are just haggling over the price."

Harry Lime: Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly.
