Lure a man with a carrot
  Persuade him with a stick
 
Show him the heavens and the stars
  ~ Label it ‘Get rich quick’

Not to sure about get rich quick, but I know I'm steadily getting poorer over the last couple of years.

Depends on how persuasive one is and how greedy the recipient is/ OR how wise, he or she is. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer
