Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.
Will Rogers
I love money. I love everything about it. I bought some pretty good stuff. Got me a $300 pair of socks. Got a fur sink. An electric dog polisher. A gasoline powered turtleneck sweater. And, of course, I bought some dumb stuff, too.
Steve Martin

Wealth after all is a relative thing since he that has little and wants less is richer than he that has much and wants more.

J.P. Morgan
If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.
Edmund Burke
Wealth is like seawater; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Steve Jobs
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
William A. Ward

I will tell you the secret to getting rich on Wall Street. You try to be greedy when others are fearful. And you try to be fearful when others are greedy.
Warren Buffett
Financial peace isn’t the acquisition of stuff. It’s learning to live on less than you make, so you can give money back and have money to invest. You can’t win until you do this.
Dave Ramsey
Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.

Plato
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Epictetus
Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.
Benjamin Franklin
Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.
Ayn Rand
Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.
George Lorimer
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Henry Ford
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
Albert Einstein
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
Seneca
The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.
Anonymous
He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses much more; He who loses faith, loses all.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant.

Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas.

Every time you borrow money, you’re robbing your future self.
Nathan W. Morris
