Money talks, and bulls*** walks.

When money talks, there are few interruptions.

I’m already hot, you could say I’m pre-heated. If money talks, mine’s telling your’s to ‘be seated

Money talks. And writes. And publishes. And reviews. But it can’t read.

They say money talks, but all mine ever says is ‘good-bye sucker.

Money talks but it can’t sing and dance and it don’t walk.

You can’t make excuses and money. Which is it going to be?

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

To get rich, you have to be making money while you’re asleep.

The money you make is a symbol of the value you create.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

No wealth can ever make a bad man at peace with himself.

Never depend on single income. Make investments to create a second source.

My old father used to have a saying: If you make a bad bargain, hug it all the tighter.

Money won’t make you happy…. But everybody wants to find out for themselves

Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.

Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it’s greedy or loving.

Making money isn’t hard in itself… What’s hard is to earn it doing something worth devoting one’s life to. ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.

It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for.

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.

It all comes down to this: if your subconscious ‘financial blueprint’ is not ‘set’ for success’, nothing you learn, nothing you know, and nothing you do will make much of a difference.

I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for ten years.

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.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

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.

Disneyland is a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.

Many folks think they aren’t good at earning money, when what they don’t know is how to use it.

People who borrow money from friends and family are the best sales people! They have mastered the skill to ask for money!

The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.

What’s keeping you from being rich? In most cases it’s simply a lack of belief. In order to become rich, you must believe you can do it, and you must take the actions necessary to achieve your goal.

Try to save something while your salary is small; it’s impossible to save after you begin to earn more.

The habit of saving is itself an education; it fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates the sense of order, trains to forethought, and so broadens the mind.

If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.

I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself – in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.

How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case.

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.

Never spend your money before you have earned it.

Time. Happiness. Inner Peace. Integrity. Love. Character. Manners. Health. Respect. Morals. Trust. Patience. Class. Common sense. Dignity. ― Roy T. Bennett

Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.

The only difference between a rich person and a poor person is how they use their time.

The four most expensive words in the English language are, ‘This time it’s different.’

My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.

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.

It is time for us to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever, the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.

If you don’t value your time, neither will others. Stop giving away your time and talents. Value what you know & start charging for it.

Everyday is a bank account, and time is our currency. No one is rich, no one is poor, we’ve got hours each.

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

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.

A simple fact that is hard to learn is that the time to save money is when you have some.
