How about a change of pace? It turns out that just about everyone has something to say about money. This week I bring you not my own words, but those of others. These are some of the best (sort of) money-related quotes I’ve heard. If it’s okay with you, I’ll let them speak for themselves.
Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas. –Paul Samuelson
Buy when everyone else is selling and hold until everyone else is buying. That’s not just a catchy slogan. It’s the very essence of successful investing. –J. Paul Getty
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.–Albert Einstein
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery. –Charles Dickens
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. –Seneca
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 Lorimer
Try to save something while your salary is small; it’s impossible to save after you begin to earn more. –Jack Benny
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give. –William A. Ward
If you have trouble imagining a 20% loss in the stock market, you shouldn’t be in stocks. –John Bogle
No wealth can ever make a bad man at peace with himself. –Plato
I love money. I love everything about it. I bought some pretty good stuff. Got me a $300 pair of socks. Got a fur sink. An electric dog polisher. A gasoline powered turtleneck sweater. And, of course, I bought some dumb stuff, too. –Steve Martin
All the best,
