Quotable: Eli Broad

"There is no substitute for knowledge. To this day, I read three newspapers a day. It is impossible to read a paper without being exposed to ideas. And ideas.. more than money.. are the real currency for success."

Quotable: David Bach

"Financial education needs to become a part of our national curriculum and scoring systems so that it’s not just the rich kids that learn about money.. it’s all of us."

Quotable: Ayn Rand

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

Quotable: Bob Dylan

“Money doesn't talk, it swears.”

Quotable: Addison H. Hallock

“Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need more.”

Quotable: Zig Ziglar

“Money won't make you happy... but everybody wants to find out for themselves.”

Quotable: Warren Buffett

“Writing checks to the IRS that include strings of zeros does not bother me ... Overall, we feel extraordinarily lucky to have been dealt a hand in life that enables us to write large checks to the government rather than one requiring the government to regularly write checks to us – say, because we are disabled or unemployed.”

Quotable: Mark Twain

“There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate: when he can afford it, and when he can't.”

Quotable: Paula Nelson

“A credit card is a money tool, not a supplement to money. The failure to make this distinction has 'supplemented' many a poor soul right into bankruptcy.”

Quotable: Dave Ramsey

"I came to realize that my money problems, worries, and shortages largely began and ended with the person in my mirror. I realized also that if I could learn to manage the character I shaved with every morning, I would win with money."

Quotable: Daniel Quinn

"Many of the biggest and most far-reaching investments we make in our lives are investments that have little or nothing to do with money."

Quotable: Bob Proctor

"Money will make you more of what you already are. If you're not a nice person, money’s going to make you a despicable individual. If you're a good person, money’s going to make you a better person."

Quotable: David Geffen

"Anybody who thinks money will make you happy, hasn't got money."

Quotable: Alan Greenspan

"Any informed borrower is simply less vulnerable to fraud and abuse."

Quotable: Henry Ford

"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."

Quotable: Albert Einstein

"I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure characters is the only thing that can produce fine ideas and noble deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and always tempts its owners irresistibly to abuse it."

Quotable: Simon Cowell

"The biggest shock when I lost it all was the realization that so much of my life had been out of my control. When I started to make the money back, I vowed that it would never happen again. I bought things only when I could afford them. There was no big mortgage, no cars on hire purchase. I remember buying a TR6 sports car for £6,000, and funnily enough it gave me more pleasure than the Porsche ever had."

Quotable: Paul Clitheroe

"The amount of money you have has got nothing to do with what you earn.. people earning a million dollars a year can have no money and.. People earning $35,000 a year can be quite well off. It's not what you earn, it's what you spend."

Quotable: Ayn Rand

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

Quotable: Henry Ford

"Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently."
