You can be young without money but you can't be old without it.
Tennessee Williams
Tennessee Williams
When you are young, you are fit and strong and you can be gainfully employed. When you
are old, you are weak and frail and you cannot work anymore. You need to live
with your retirement fund for your golden years. If you don’t start saving early for your old age,
life will be miserable.
2.
Lack
of money is no obstacle. Lack of an idea is an obstacle.
Ken Hakuta

All you
need in life is a unique idea that others are looking for. It can be in the
form of products or services. You give others what they want and you will be
able to build your wealth.
3.
Never
spend your money before you have it.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson
Living on
credit is not a wise thing to do. You pay more than by paying in cash and you
may not be able to honor your debt and end up bankrupt.
4.
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 Horace Lorimer
George Horace Lorimer
Do
not just think of money, there are other important things in life to take care
of such as your health which money cannot buy.
5.
Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after
directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.
Henry Ford
You don’t
look for money directly. How much you can get is proportional to how much you
can give to others in the form of services or products.
6.
Money will buy
you a bed, but not a good night's sleep, a house but not a home, a companion
but not a friend.
Zig Ziglar
Money can buy you only material things, all
other things you have to earn it like your reputation and the trust of others
in you.
7.
He who gathers money little by little makes it grow. [Proverbs 13:11].
Bible
The starting point to build wealth is savings. When it is done regularly over a period of time, compound interest will grow your money.

8.
The
man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make
money nor find much fun in life.
Charles M. Schwab
You must like and enjoy what you do. You are paid for what you can do for others by using your skills and
know-how. The more you care about what you do, the better your work will be and
the more money you will be able to earn. You can’t get money without putting in the effort to work and give your best.
9. Money is a good servant but a bad
master.
Aristodemus
When you manage your personal finance effectively, you will grow your wealth. When you cannot discipline yourself and you overspend, you will get into debt. You will be a servant to the lender.

10. Too many people spend money they
haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't
like.
Will Smith
Will Smith
It is prudent to live your own life within your means. Do not compare with others. There will always be others who are richer than you. Be contented, happy, and debt-free.
These quotes put a smile on my face. There's truth in all of them. I like the quotes of Henry Ford and Zig Ziglar. And I admire how they got to the top and obtain riches as by product of the services they have provided.
ReplyDeleteIt's just sad that many focus on money alone neglecting the important ones like friends, family, peace of mind and wonderful sleep.
