All these alchemists were so intent on teaching others how to turn lead into gold. If they knew how, they would have done it, shut their mouth, and gotten rich.

"If they knew how, they would have done it, shut their mouth, and gotten rich."

Same thing today.

Just turn on the TV after 11PM and watch the parade of people selling
*you* their *secret* on how to get rich in real estate (or fill in the blank.)

The real play is selling the get rich scheme.
