“...After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world. I am strongly of the opinion that the great majority of people will always find these are the moving impulses of our life. But it is only those who do not understand our people, who believe that our national life is entirely absorbed by material motives. We make no concealment of the fact that we want wealth, but there are many other things that we want much more. We want peace and honor, and that charity which is so strong an element of all civilization. The chief ideal of the American people is idealism.”
Calvin Coolidge, Business, Wealth, Goals, Life
“There is no dignity quite so impressive, and no independence quite so important, as living within your means.”

John Locke, Wealth
“Every man carries about him a touchstone, if he will make use of it, to distinguish substantial gold from superficial glitterings, truth from appearances. And indeed the use and benefit of this touchstone, which is natural reason, is spoiled and lost only by assumed prejudices, overweening presumption, and narrowing our minds.”
― John Locke, Locke's Conduct of the Understanding
John Locke, Life, Wealth

Kim Kardashian, Wealth

“Boulton sold the estate which had come to him by his wife, and the greater part of his father's property, and mortgaged the remainder.

“This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth: To set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent on him; and, after doing so, to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgement, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community--the man of wealth thus becoming the mere trustee and agent for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience, and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves.”
Andrew Carnegie, Goals, Wealth
“Man does not live by bread alone. I have known millionaires starving for lack of the nutriment which alone can sustain all that is human in man, and I know workmen, and many so-called poor men, who revel in luxuries beyond the power of those millionaires to reach. It is the mind that makes the body rich. There is no class so pitiably wretched as that which possesses money and nothing else. Money can only be the useful drudge of things immeasurably higher than itself. Exalted beyond this, as it sometimes is, it remains Caliban still and still plays the beast. My aspirations take a higher flight. Mine be it to have contributed to the enlightenment and the joys of the mind, to the things of the spirit, to all that tends to bring into the lives of the toilers of Pittsburgh sweetness and light. I hold this the noblest possible use of wealth.”
Andrew Carnegie, Goals, Wealth

“If they don’t have that extreme addict personality, you can never understand how a guy can blow 300 or 400 million dollars. If I have to live at the top of the world, I also have to live at the bottom of the ocean. I don’t know how to live in the middle of life.”
- Mike Tyson expressing his views on lifestyle and money: He would never be content living a normal middle class life.
Mike Tyson, Life, Wealth
“I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars, there’s a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that. But once you get much beyond that, I have to tell you, it’s the same hamburger.”
Most people want to be wealthy without knowing how wealthy they want to be. In fact, most people dream of someday becoming the wealthiest person in the world. But "real wealth" means having enough resources and not just money to do the things you want and to acquire all the things you desire. By this definition of "real wealth", many people would get by with very little money.
Bill Gates, Wealth, Freedom
“Poverty may be a privilege and even a way of life for the monk in the desert,for he has only himself to sustain and none but his god to please, but I consider poverty to be the mark of lack of ability or lack of ambition. I am not deficient in either of these qualities!”

The Greatest Salesman in the World, Wealth, Happiness
“Hafid, so far as material wealth is concerned, there is only one difference between myself and the lowliest beggar outside Herod’s palace. The beggar thinks only of his next meal and I think only of the meal that will be my last. No, my son, do not aspire for wealth and labor not only to be rich. Strive instead for happiness, to be loved and to love, and most important, to acquire peace of mind and serenity.”
The Greatest Salesman in the World, Wealth, Happiness, Love, Goals
“Truly, many times have you heard me say that the rewards are great if one succeeds but the rewards are great only because so few succeed. Many succumb to despair and fail without realizing that they already possess all the tools needed to acquire great wealth. Many others face each obstacle in their path with fear and doubt and consider them as enemies when, in truth, these obstructions are friends and helpers.”
The Greatest Salesman in the World, Business, Success, Problems, Wealth

“My other family is Fleetwood Mac. I don’t need the money, but there’s an emotional need for me to go on the road again. There’s a love there; we’re a band of brothers.”
Stevie Nicks, Wealth, Love
“When you’re rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship, even if you try hard not to be. I’ve talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac, but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.”

Dan Kennedy, Wealth
“Fears about money inhibit your wealth attraction powers. Absence of fears about money releases your full wealth attraction power.”
Dan Kennedy, Wealth
“As an ethical, moral person, you probably think: “Hey, I don’t want more than my fair share.” But that reveals belief that wealth is limited.
If you believe wealth is unlimited, there’s no such thing as a share of it. Everybody’s share is unlimited.
There’s nothing to have a share of. There’s only unlimited. Your fair share is all you can possibly attract. As is anybody and everybody else’s.”
Dan Kennedy, Wealth
“Entrepreneurial success and wealth creation, as well as wealth attraction, requires a willingness to risk and experience failure, and the emotional resiliency to recover from it quickly, decisively, passionately, and persistently.”
Dan Kennedy, Business, Wealth, Success
“Money doesn’t have a conscience. It’s paper. That’s all it is. It’s just paper. It’s not significantly different than the paper that’s in your book.
It’s green and it’s got some kind of woven crap in it so that, theoretically, we can’t counterfeit it. But it’s paper. It doesn’t know if you’re a priest or a p*rnographer.
Look, it’s paper. That’s all it is. Nothing less. It’s just paper. It doesn’t have a conscience, it doesn’t know what you are, doesn’t know what you do, doesn’t care. It just moves around. That’s all.”
Dan Kennedy, Wealth
“Few people are attracted to whiners, complainers, excuse-makers, wimps. Hanging out with a victim is not appealing to most reasonably sane people.
Who wants to be around or involved with an emotional cripple? The person in the victim shirt tends to wear out his welcome early. As he should.
His thinking, his beliefs, and his behavior are even more repellant to money and wealth than they to other people.”
Dan Kennedy, Life, Wealth
“Wealth and rarity go together. The rarer the art, the piece of jewelry, the designer gown, the travel experience, the first edition book, the celebrity’s autograph, the professional expertise, the higher the price paid, the greater the appreciation, the greater the demand.”
Dan Kennedy, Wealth
“Ultimately, as always, the way the majority thinks about money is wrong. Thinking that virtue or talent or superior product quality or service entitles you to success is fantastical and foolish.”
Dan Kennedy, Intelligence/Wisdom, Wealth, Business, Success
“Well, here’s the trick about money. The understanding that it is available in unlimited supply and readily replaceable changes everything.”
Dan Kennedy, Wealth
“Perhaps you are overvaluing what you don’t have and undervaluing what you do.”
Jordan Peterson, Wealth
“I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I've just done what I damn well wanted to, and I've made enough money to support myself, and ain't afraid of being alone.”

“Sympathy, Love, Fortune... We all have these qualities but still tend to not use them!”
Anne Frank, Kindness, Love, Wealth
“Riches, prestige, everything can be lost. But the happiness in your own heart can only be dimmed; it will always be there, as long as you live, to make you happy again.
Whenever you're feeling lonely or sad, try going to the loft on a beautiful day and looking outside. Not at the houses and the rooftops, but at the sky. As long as you can look fearlessly at the sky, you'll know that you're pure within and will find happiness once more.”
Anne Frank, Wealth, Success, Happiness, Nature
“I don't have much in the way of money or worldly possessions, I'm not beautiful, intelligent or clever, but I'm happy, and I intend to stay that way! I was born happy, I love people, I have a trusting nature, and I'd like everyone else to be happy too.”
Anne Frank, Wealth, Happiness
“Memories mean more to me than dresses.”
Anne Frank, Wealth

Walt Whitman, Wealth
"Where there’s a will – there’s a relative!"
Ricky Gervais, Wealth
"What's great about this country is America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good."
Andy Warhol, Society, Wealth
"I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning."

Princess Diana, Happiness, Wealth

Susan B Anthony, Freedom, Wealth
"Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull."
George Orwell, Wealth
"Most officially “poor” Americans today have things that middle-class Americans of an earlier time could only dream about—including color TV, videocassette recorders, microwave ovens, and their own cars. Moreover, half of all poor households have air-conditioning. Leftist redistribution of income could never accomplish that, because there are simply not enough rich people for their wealth to have such a dramatic effect on the living standards of the poor, even if it was all confiscated and redistributed. Moreover, many attempts at redistributing wealth in various countries around the world have ended up redistributing poverty.
After all, rich people can see the political handwriting on the wall, and can often take their money and leave the country, long before a government program can get started to confiscate it. They are also likely to take with them skills and entrepreneurial experience that are even harder to replace than the money."
Thomas Sowell, Government, Wealth, Society
""The welfare state is the oldest con game in the world. First you take people's money away quietly and then you give some of it back to them flamboyantly."
Thomas Sowell, Government, Wealth
"No government of the left has done as much for the poor as capitalism has. Even when it comes to the redistribution of income, the left talks the talk but the free market walks the walk.
What do the poor most need? They need to stop being poor. And how can that be done, on a mass scale, except by an economy that creates vastly more wealth? Yet the political left has long had a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they are concerned, wealth exists somehow and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it."
Thomas Sowell, Government, Wealth, Society
"What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race?"
Thomas Sowell, Government, Wealth, Society
"If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else's expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves."
Thomas Sowell, Government, Wealth
"Since this is an era when many people are concerned about 'fairness' and 'social justice,' what is your 'fair share' of what someone else has worked for?"
Thomas Sowell, Society, Wealth
"Despite a voluminous and often fervent literature on "income distribution," the cold fact is that most income is not distributed: It is earned."
Thomas Sowell, Wealth
"I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money."
Thomas Sowell, Society, Wealth
"My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time."
Steve Jobs, Wealth, Time
"Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want."

Zig Ziglar, Wealth
"Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with that there is."
Ernest Hemingway, Wealth
"Asked, Who is the rich man? Epictetus replied, He who is content."
Epictetus, Wealth
"Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth."
Epictetus, Life, Wealth
"Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants."
Epictetus, Wealth
"It is not the man who has too little that is poor, but the one who hankers after more."
Seneca, Wealth
"Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind. No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives—worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over. No person hands out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives! We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers."
Seneca, Time, Wealth, Life
"People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy."
Seneca, Wealth
"Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool."
Seneca, Wealth
"Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are. We've been using them not because we needed them but because we had them."
Seneca, Wealth
"It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor."
Seneca, Wealth
"The greatest wealth is to live content with little."

"Paper money has had the effect in your state that it will ever have, to ruin commerce, oppress the honest, and open the door to every species of fraud and injustice."
George Washington, Wealth
"No man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned."
Teddy Roosevelt, Wealth
"Our aim is not to do away with corporations; on the contrary, these big aggregations are an inevitable development of modern industrialism, and the effort to destroy them would be futile unless accomplished in ways that would work the utmost mischief to the entire body politic. We can do nothing of good in the way of regulating and supervising these corporations until we fix clearly in our minds that we are not attacking the corporations, but endeavoring to do away with any evil in them. We are not hostile to them; we are merely determined that they shall be so handled as to subserve the public good. We draw the line against misconduct, not against wealth."
Teddy Roosevelt, Society, Wealth
"It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how things are in themselves. The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it."
Carl Jung, Wealth
"He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature."
Socrates, Wealth
"Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual."

"Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing."
Oscar Wilde, Wealth
"Attend to living, and let property go sooner than suffer discomforts, for I would rather have you alive and poor, because if you were dead, I wouldn’t care for all the gold in the world, and if those chirping crickets there [in Florence] or anyone else reproves you, let them talk, for they are ignorant men and without love."
Michelangelo, Wealth
"Money is the universal, self-constituted value of all things. Hence it has robbed the whole world... of its proper value. Money is the alienated essence of man's labour and life, and this alien essence dominates him as he worships it."
Karl Marx, Wealth
"Modern bourgeois society with its relations of production, of exchange, and of property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer, who is no longer able to control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his spells."
Karl Marx, Wealth
"The bourgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilization. The cheap prices of its commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it forces the barbarians' intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate. It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilization into their midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In one word, it creates a world after its own image."
Karl Marx, Wealth
"If money is the bond binding me to human life, binding society to me, connecting me with nature and man, is not money the bond of all bonds? Can it not dissolve and bind all ties? Is it not, therefore, also the universal agent of separation?"
Karl Marx, Wealth
"The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital.
