Maybe it’s a case of Spring Fever a few days early. However, this week instead of boring you with market and economic news, I thought it may be a nice break to give you some words of wisdom and whit on money:
“Understand yourself, protect yourself. And care enough to fight the hidden enemy of our system (economic ignorance) before it does indeed destroy us.”
Sylvia Porter
“Never spend your money before you have it.”
Thomas Jefferson
“The easiest way to teach children the value of money is to borrow from them.”
Anonymous
“Make all you can, save all you can, give all you can.”
John Wesley
“The art of living easily as to money is to pitch your scale of living one degree below your means.”
Sir Henry Taylor
“Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a big ship.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Money is a wonderful thing, but it is possible to pay too high a price for it.”
Alexander Bloch
“ Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not the appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; days of joy, but not peace and happiness.”
Henrik Ibsen
“It’s good to have money and the things money can buy, but it’s good to check once in a while and make sure you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.”
George Horace Lorimer
“Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.”
Samuel Butler
“If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.”
Billy Graham
Picasso, the great painter, wanted a special piece of furniture made for a large room. He went to a cabinetmaker and, to make his wishes clear, sketched on a piece of scrap paper exactly what he wanted. When finished, he asked what the price would be.
“No charge,” said the wily craftsman, “just sign the sketch.”
“About the time we think we can make ends meet, someone moves the ends.”
Herbert Hoover
“If you want to recapture your youth, just cut off his allowance.”
Al Bernstein
“There’s nothing wrong with the younger generation that becoming taxpayers won’t cure.”
Dan Bennett
“Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs repairing.”
Billy Rose
“My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.”
Errol Flynn
Groucho Marx
“Money is the opposite of the weather. Nobody talks about it, but everybody does something about it.”
Rebecca Johnson
“I don’t like money actually, but it quiets my nerves.”
