Steven WrightInside of every problem lies an opportunity.
Robert KiyosakiThere is a soak-the-rich attitude in the air, a feeling that if you have a lot of money you must have got it by some ghastly means. I can quite happily say there was never any family money. All the money we got was mine, just from writing books.
