You must acquire the habits and skills of managing a small amount of money before you can have a large amount.

Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose.

A lack of money is never, ever, ever a problem. A lack of money is merely a symptom of what is going on underneath.

Poor and most middle-class people believe “If I have a lot of money, I could do what I want and I’d be a success.” Rich people understand, “If I become a successful person, I will be able to do what I need to do to have what I want, including a lot of money.”

Do not value money for anymore nor any less than it's worth; it is a good servant but a bad master.

The single biggest difference between financial success and financial failure is how well you manage your money. It’s simple: to master money, you must manage money.

I don’t know about you, but where I went to school, Money Management 101 wasn’t offered. Instead we learned about the War of 1812, which of course is something I use every single day.

It comes down to this: either you control money, or it controls you. To control money, you must manage it.

"Fame or integrity: which is more important? Money or happiness: which is more valuable? Success or failure: which is more destructive? If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."

Money is a lubricant. It lets you “slide” through life instead of having to “scrape” by. Money brings freedom—freedom to buy what you want , and freedom to do what you want with your time. Money allows you to enjoy the finer things in life as well as giving you the opportunity to help others have the necessities in life. Most of all, having money allows you not to have to spend your energy worrying about not having money.
