Money Quotes From The Rich And Successful People

Money Quotes From The Rich And Successful People

1) “Too many people spend money they earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people that they don’t like.”

By Will Rogers

Very well said from Will Rogers. Money is just a form of exchange; you cannot buy happiness with money. If you cannot be happy without money, I doubt it seriously that you will feel happy when you have money. Happiness is a state of mind, you can be happy or unhappy regardless of whether you are rich. Some people are poor but they’re happy because they feel gratify and have it all. Some people who are rich but they don’t feel happy because they feel they lack everything and not feeling gratify with what they have. Of course, you have to learn to be rich and happy in the same time.

2) “I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for ten years.”

By Warren Buffett

This is one of the best money lessons from the world’s best investor, Warren Buffett. He understands it very well that big money is not something that you can make overnight. If you’re employed to a company earning a salary of $3,000 per month, you don’t have any experience in running business or any other wealth creation knowledge, it will be near to impossible for you to become a millionaire overnight. Learn the 7 critical reasons why you’re not rich yet here.

3) “Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”

By Jim Rohn

Ever wonder why some people who did not finish school or did not have a degree do much better financially compare to others who have higher education qualification? This is because education doesn’t really count in terms of creating wealth. Yes, formal education will give you an edge to stay ahead of the competition, but it is not the main ingredient to build your financial success.

4) “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.”

By Franklin D. Roosevelt

Again, this is what makes a lot of people confuse. Many people thought that money can buy happiness, or some may say the other way round, saying that it is alright that they’re poor or they’re broke because they’d rather stay poor and happy than rich and miserable. Come on, money cannot buys happiness, this is a fact, but money is important too! You need money to survive and to buy things that will give you fulfillment in life. What you need to do is not to focus in making money, instead, focus in achieving, focus in constantly moving forward.

5) “Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.”

By Norman Vincent Peale

Another great quote from Norman Vincent Peale, bestselling author for The Power of Positive Thinking. Yes, the only thing that will hold you back from achieving whatever you desire in life lies within you. It is your thinking and your fear and holds you back. Why do you think you are not a millionaire right now? Never think that it is because you don’t have what it takes, instead, think positively, think that you have it all and it is time to start now.

6) “Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs.”

By Zig Ziglar

How much time do you spend on things that don’t really matter in your life? People use to spend a lot of their time watching TV, watching people’s acting and watching how people live life in dramas. Those are not real and have nothing to do with you. And now we have another great time eater, smart phones and tablets. Nowadays people spend a lot of their time playing with their phones, their iPad, seeing how and what happened to others through Facebook. Remember, you can get updates from social media, but never waste too much of your time into other people’s life. You should live your life and move forward each day. Give a “like” to yourself for this, 😉

7) “It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for.”

By Robert Kiyosaki

Great quote from Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author who shakes the financial world with his Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books. It is not how much you can earn, but how much you can save and how hard you make your money works for you that make you truly rich. You can make $10,000 a month, but if you spend lavishly, you will still end up broke. Same scenario, you can be making $10,000 a month, and if you save and invest most of it, you will be financially free really soon.

8) “In 1995 I had 7 bucks in my pocket and I knew two things; I’m broke as hell and one day I won’t be.”

By The Rock, Dwayne Johnson

This is one of my favourite quotes. If you’re broke right now, you might want to learn from The Rock. Learn about this positivity that you can turn the situation around and become rich in the future. Learn about his tenacity and hard work in doing his best in his acting career. You can choose to stay the same, or you can choose to believe the otherwise, choose to believe that you can start right now and create the amazing success you want in life. It is all about your beliefs, your choices, your decisions and the actions that you are going to take that will make all the difference.

9) “After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.”

By Aristotle Onassis

It will be hard to understand this if you’re not “there” yet. The same goes to me, sometimes I will feel like chasing the money, but in fact, it is not money that we all are looking for. Think about it, do you think Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Michael Dell, and Richard Branson do it for the money? They’re rich beyond measure, they won’t do it for the money and they are doing it because it is their passion and it is what makes them exciting. They do it because they love to and because it is their play. They want to win the game and they want to do it better. The same goes for you and me, try to think it from another perspective and money will automatically flows to you.

10) “A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.”

By Jonathan Swift

Finally, don’t worship money. Money should just be the score of your performance, never let it become the thing that you chase in life. We all know it very well that money is important, but it is not something that we should aim deep within our heart. You should know how much you want to make and think big in life, but you should never worship money and chase it meaninglessly. Why do you want to be rich and why do you want all the money for? Ask yourself this question and always tell yourself that money is just the by-product of your hard work. Money can be a good motivation, but never let it be your ONLY motivation.
