“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.”

“The rule is not to talk about money with people who have much more or much less than you.”

“I cannot afford to waste my time making money.”
Louis Agassiz
People say that time is money. Sure it takes time to make money. But I would say that time is more valuable than money. And you know why? Because you can always earn some extra money, but you can never earn extra time. Once time has [...]

“Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.”

“Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.”
