"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
-- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), third President of the United States

"Wealth is nothing more than a refusal to listen to broke people... and refusal to talk their language... and refusal to end up the refuse of life..."
-- Doug Firebaugh

"You have not lived a perfect day, even though you have earned your money,

"No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he had only good intentions. He had money as well."
-- Margaret Thatcher

"Before we can begin to deal with the ways to avoid new debt and liquidate existing debt, we have to understand just how we get into debt in the first place. The core problem is simple: Repeated debt results from dysfunctional (or distorted) attitudes and perceptions about money and self. They are generally subconscious; we don’t even realize they’re there. Yet they rule our behavior and actions with the power of a dictator. It’s essential to recognize them for what they are. Unless you do, no external event, no influx of money, no matter how large, is going to correct your financial situation."
-- Jerrold Mundis: How to Get Out of Debt, Stay Out of Debt, & Live Prosperously

-- Diane Sawyer, American TV personality

"We are the trustees of what funds we are temporarily given on this earth. May we share those with others."
-- Andrew Carnegie

"All healthy people like their dinners but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthily-minded people like making money - ought to like it, and to enjoy the sensation of winning it: but the main object of their life is not money; it is something better than money."
-- John Ruskin

"The basic principle of turning ideas into big money is to seize every money building idea and work with it until the idea fits your purpose, decide on the steps needed to make it work, and then proceed to do it as soon as possible."
-- Duane Newcomb (Author and Publisher)

"Do yourself a favor and master the art of money. Treat it as an honored guest in your life, one who will quickly flee if you do not treat her well, but one who will stay and enrich your life beyond measure if you treat her with care and respect."
-- Philip E. Humbert (author of Making Money, Creating Wealth)

"Get comfortable with money. Believe it or not, most of us are not comfortable with money. At some level, many of us believe that having money means we did something wrong, we cheated someone, or at any rate, we don't deserve it. As you might imagine, this results in us not having much money. So if you want more money, start getting comfortable with having money. Start thinking of exactly how much money you would want and write that number down. Then really get creative and start thinking of ways you might get that much money. Then visualize how you would feel having all that money and analyze what kinds of thoughts that brings up. Take the negative thoughts that come up and really look at them to see how true they are. Each day visualize yourself having that money and how you think and feel about it, and keep working on making yourself comfortable with having the money."
-- Edward W. Smith, Sixty Seconds to Success

"The gratification of wealth is not found in mere possession or in lavish expenditure, but in its wise application."
-- Miguel de Cervantes

"How you handle or mishandle your money tells us who you are and, more important, it tells you who you are. Your priorities, passions, goals, and fears are shown clearly in the flow of your money. Your value system, or lack of one causes money to flow around you, past you, or to you. When money is in your possession, what you do with it screams loudly who you are."
-- Dave Ramsey in More Than Enough: The 10 Keys to Changing Your Financial Destiny

"If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it."
-- Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC) Greek philosopher

"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."

"If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free; if our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed."
-- Unknown

"It is 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 you haven't lost the things money can't buy. " -- George Lorimer, 1899-1936, Editor of the Saturday Evening Post

"Money - like health, love, happiness, and all forms of success that you want to create for yourself is the result of living purposefully. It is not a goal unto itself."
-- Dr. Wayne Dyer

"Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons."
-- Woody Allen

"Money is either a good or bad influence, according to the character of the person who possesses it."
--Napoleon Hill

"Let us do away with the erroneous idea that men must be poor to be righteous. Money is man's instrument, not his master. Money was made for man, not man for money. Only those who put money above man and give it power in their minds by worshiping it, are the 'rich' men to whom Jesus referred in His story about the camel and the needle's eye. It is not money that controls men, but the ideas they have about money. Ideas of poverty are just as powerful to enslave men as are ideas of wealth. Every man should be taught how to handle ideas, rather than money, so that they serve him rather than have dominion over him."
-- Charles Fillmore

"We are all powerless as children, and money looms so powerfully...we don't grow up to claim our financial power until we look money directly in the eye, face our fears, and claim that power back."
-- Suze Orman (1951-)American Financial Advisor and author of The Laws of Money

"A billion dollars in the bank, without the experience of carefreeness and charity, is a state of poverty. Wealth consciousness, by definition, is a state of mind. If you are constantly concerned about how much money you need, then irrespective of the actual dollar amount you have in your account, you are really poor."
-- Deepak Chopra: Creating Affluence
