My family wasn’t rich, so when it comes to money, I tend to think, ‚Err on the side of caution.‘

I listen to my mother, and that keeps me out of trouble. I’m a good son.

That summer after the draft was probably the most fun I’ve ever had, because all I had to do every day was wake up and go work out for four or five hours. I got to play some golf, which I love to do, too, and then got to hang out with my family.

There are people who have money and people who are rich.

Remember that credit is money.

I have a family, loving aunts, and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything except my one true friend. All I think about when I’m with friends is having a good time. I can’t bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don’t seem to be able to get any closer, and that’s the problem.

If I walked into the kitchen without washing my hands as a kid, I’d hear a loud ‚A-hem!‘ from my mother or grandmother. Now I count on other people to do the same.

If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that worked for him.

Feels good to try, but playing a father, I’m getting a little older. I see now that I’m taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.

Never spend your money before you have earned it.

My mom and my dad were both very sociable, meeting lots of interesting people.

I don’t even call them fans. I don’t like that. They’re literally just a part of my life; they’re a part of my family. I don’t think of them as on a lower level than me. I don’t think I’m anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they’re basically all of my siblings.

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.

America is the student who defies the odds to become the first in a family to go to college – the citizen who defies the cynics and goes out there and votes – the young person who comes out of the shadows to demand the right to dream. That’s what America is about.

We continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.

A family looks for ways to support and inspire one another.

The only difference between Benito and Bad Bunny is 16 million followers on Instagram. And the money that Bad Bunny has in the bank. Benito had, like, $7. The numbers are different, but I’m still the same. Even my insecurities remain the same.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

I have a full and satisfying life. My work and my family are very important to me.

Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.

I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I get to kids. Whenever the time is right, I’ll just know. If I had a girl, she’d probably be really rebellious. She would be like a bundle of karma. I would love to bring them up in Barbados.

My philosophy is that if I have any money I invest it in new ventures and not have it sitting around.

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

I’ve never had a divorce, but I’ve seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can’t write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I’m able to kind of express it, or their joy.

My father wasn’t a cruel man. And I loved him. But he was a pretty tough character. His own father was even tougher – one of those Victorians, hard as iron – but my dad was tough enough.

If I were a woman, I would love to have lots of kids. But for men, I don’t believe in it.

Family quarrels are bitter things. They don’t go according to any rules. They’re not like aches or wounds, they’re more like splits in the skin that won’t heal because there’s not enough material.

Children make your life important.

Neil Young is my hero, and such a great example. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That’s what that guy does. Sometimes you pay attention, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes he hands it to you, sometimes he keeps it to himself. He’s a good man with a beautiful family and wonderful life.

I’m a bit like the Queen in that I don’t carry much cash.

We’ve all heard stories of lottery winners, rock stars, heirs and heiresses, and professional athletes becoming millionaire morons who wake up rich but are broke by nightfall.

My mother was and will always remain my greatest hero.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

I’ve learned people are watching, so don’t do nothing stupid.

I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.

It would astonish if not amuse the older citizens to learn that I (a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working at ten dollars per month) have been put down as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.

Every family should have the right to spend their money, after tax, as they wish, and not as the government dictates. Let us extend choice, extend the will to choose and the chance to choose.

It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.

As I got older, my pops tried to keep me involved with the culture by telling me the stories of the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, how he came to America, and about our family back home, because all that side of my family – my aunties, grandparents – is in Africa.

It was a privilege to pray with Governor Romney – for his family and our country.

Do you know the only thing that gives me pleasure? It’s to see my dividends coming in.

Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits; cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.

It is best to avoid the beginnings of evil.

He that’s secure is not safe.

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

Mum had done everything you need to educate a kid. She made me a kid who likes books and she told me about ‚Wind in the Willows‘ and read it and I thought this is weird, Rat, Mole, Toad and my first ever Bolshie thought – you know about ‚The Wind in the Willows.‘

There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.

Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.

There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.

The African is my brother but he is my younger brother by several centuries.

Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.

He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.

I just hate meetings. Though it’s true that once you’ve made a lot of money, people around you might be full of ideas about ways to make lots more money and might be disappointed that you don’t want to seize every opportunity to do so.

My other brother-in-law died. He was a karate expert, then joined the army. The first time he saluted, he killed himself.

Prospering just doesn’t have to do with money.

My mom cleaned toilets for a long time, and she’d seen a lot of terrible things, but she was still the strength of our family. And there are women like that all across the country – all around the world – who show that type of fortitude.

Of course, to have money is just great because you can do what you think is important to you. I always was a rich person because money’s not related to happiness.
