But, having a perfume and license, in general, is a financial necessity. A designer must, to reap back the money spent on prototypes and all that sort of thing.
Vivienne WestwoodI began playing Monopoly for real when I was 26 years old. Today, my wife and I have approximately 1,400 little green houses – each paying us monthly. You do not have to be a rocket scientist or have a Harvard degree to play Monopoly for real.
Robert KiyosakiGold is hoarded. It’s estimated that 95 percent of all gold ever mined is still around.
Robert KiyosakiReal estate is the key cost of physical retailers. That’s why there’s the old saw: location, location, location.
Jeff BezosSome people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years… Others spend their last days in nursing homes.
Billy GrahamI believe the returns on investment in the poor are just as exciting as successes achieved in the business arena, and they are even more meaningful!
Bill GatesIf you have faith in our leaders of commerce, don’t buy gold. If you do not have faith in them, maybe you should buy gold or silver.
Robert KiyosakiWe will invest in our people, quality education, job opportunity, family, neighborhood, and yes, a thing we call America.
Dan QuayleConcentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.
Andrew CarnegieBecause we’re actors we can pretend and fake it, but I’d rather the intimate investment was authentic.
Keanu ReevesIf you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help… Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.
Barack ObamaLandlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.
Karl MarxI’m interested in movement, and I’m interested in money, and I’m interested in the movement of money.
Conor McGregorSuburban houses and tin sheds are often the objects of ridicule.
David ByrneThe over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it’s like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.
Steve JobsBy rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt.
James MadisonSo long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you’ve served us – because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.
Barack ObamaFrom the late 1940s, into and through the ’50s, there developed a complex interaction between federal government, state and local government, real-estate interests, commercial interests and court decisions, which had the effect of undermining the mass transit system across the country.
Noam ChomskyCapital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.
Karl MarxI didn’t really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry… but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it’s the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.
Angelina JolieEvery dollar I made from DJing, I put into my videos, promotion – everything.
DJ KhaledA holding company is a thing where you hand an accomplice the goods while the policeman searches you.
Will RogersBy 2003, every fool was getting into real estate. The checkout girl at my local supermarket handed me her newly printed real estate agent business card.
Robert KiyosakiMy biggest extravagances are also investments. I have several houses in California, a house in Nashville, an office complex, and I bought the old home place in Tennessee. They are different places for me to write, but I can turn right around and sell them.
Dolly PartonFriend, there’s no greater investment in life than in being a people builder. Relationships are more important than our accomplishments.
Joel OsteenIndians invest more in Britain than in the rest of European Union combined. It is not because they want to save on interpretation costs, but because they find an environment that is welcoming and familiar.
Narendra ModiThe future is purchased by the present.
Samuel JohnsonWhen I get up and work out, I’m working out just as much for my girls as I am for me, because I want them to see a mother who loves them dearly, who invests in them, but who also invests in herself. It’s just as much about letting them know as young women that it is okay to put yourself a little higher on your priority list.
Michelle ObamaIf you must invest in paper, learn to be an options trader. Then you will know how to make money whether the markets are going up or down.
Robert KiyosakiWhen you look at how much we spend on social programs in our country, it separates us from a lot of countries. In our country, if you’re hungry, we’ll feed you. If you’re homeless, we’ll house you. If you’re too poor to be sick, we’ll pay for your doctor. But all of that comes at a cost.
John KennedyMany financial advisors recommend that you diversify for your own protection. What they fail to tell you is that it is also for their protection. Since most financial advisors cannot tell you exactly which stock or mutual fund is a great investment, they tell you to buy a bunch of them.
Robert KiyosakiThere are good examples of companies – Coca-Cola is one – that invested before there was a huge market in countries, and I think that ended up playing out to their benefit for decades to come.

Brian TracyMuch of India that we dream of still lies ahead of us: housing, power, water and sanitation for all; bank accounts and insurance for every citizen; connected and prosperous villages; and, smart and sustainable cities.
Narendra ModiBooks constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
Thomas JeffersonOne of the reasons so many people get burned in the market is because they start buying as they see prices going up.
Robert KiyosakiFor a successful entrepreneur it can mean extreme wealth. But with extreme wealth comes extreme responsibility. And the responsibility for me is to invest in creating new businesses, create jobs, employ people, and to put money aside to tackle issues where we can make a difference.
Richard BransonAn investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Benjamin FranklinWe have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.
Barack ObamaMany gold and silver experts will recommend you buy numismatic coins – rare and old coins. If you are not a rare coin expert, I’d encourage you to stay away from them. New investors often pay too much for rare coins that are not really rare.
Robert KiyosakiIn 1997, in Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I stated, ‚Your home is not an asset.‘ Real estate agents sent me hate mail.
Robert KiyosakiThe problem with EMMA is that it is cost prohibitive for the small investors who were supposed to benefit from the new transparency.
John KennedyThose who invest in South Africa should not think they are doing us a favor; they are here for what they get out of our cheap and abundant labor, and they should know that they are buttressing one of the most vicious systems.
Desmond TutuIt’s not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.
Will RogersAmericans move more than 10 times over the course of a lifetime.
Bill GatesThe press is still investing itself, it seems to me, in a sort of cynicism. It comes out better for them if they can predict hard times, bogging down, sniping, attrition.
Christopher HitchensOur houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them.
Henry David ThoreauAutomotive franchise laws were put in place decades ago to prevent a manufacturer from unfairly opening stores in direct competition with an existing franchise dealer that had already invested time, money and effort to open and promote their business.
Elon MuskMy real dream is to have a whole, like, buy a whole piece of land. Imagine, like, a long driveway. Like, a cul de sac-type street, with maybe, like, seven houses. Me be right here. Have my mom be able to be right here. My brother over here. My girl’s grandmother and family right here. Friends over there. That’s my real dream.
J. ColeMoney is the seed of money, and the first guinea is sometimes more difficult to acquire than the second million.
Jean-Jacques RousseauAll of these young people have some kind of potential in them. And if we don’t invest in them as a nation, regardless of where they come from or what color they are, if we don’t invest in them, we lose.
Michelle ObamaThieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThis will never be a civilized country until we spend more money for books than we do for chewing gum.
Elbert HubbardTruth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI’m going to retain a lot of Microsoft’s stock.
Bill GatesManaging your own property can be a full-time job.
Robert KiyosakiFolks, you’re the reason that the automobile industry is back. Whether it was the wage freezes, the plant closures, folks, you sacrificed to keep your companies open. Because of your productivity, the combined auto companies have committed to invest another $23 billion in expansion in America.
Joe BidenBuy land. They ain’t making any more of the stuff.
Will Rogers
