“The art is not in making money, but in keeping it.”
Old Proverb
This is one of the keys to becoming wealth. Spend less than you make! That gives you more to keep and give!

“There are many reasons for why a man does what he does. To be himself he must be able to give it all. If a leader cannot give it all he cannot expect his people to give anything.”

“In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”
Albert Einstein
Just got laid off? Can’t find work? Just went bankrupt? In every difficult situation lies opportunities. It’s in the fire that gold is purified. It’s in extreme pressure that a diamond is birthed. It’s in the heat of the microwave that popcorn is made.

“If a man who cannot count finds a four-leaf clover, is he lucky?”
Stanislaw J. Lec
Hope you have a great St. Patrick’s Day! My mom actually has two four-leaf clovers she found when she was a kid! I’ve never seen one in the wild.

“He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.”
Benjamin Franklin
If you think money will do everything, you might do everything for money. Wasn’t Mr. Franklin a wise man? There must be a reason he’s on our 100 dollar bill!

“The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.”
Albert Einstein
Arguably the most intelligent person to ever live (even though he didn’t speak fluently until age nine) said that the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest. Of course, he was wrong. God is, but it still illustrates a point. Compound interest is [...]
