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

I’m filthy rich!

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

For a long time I was scared I’d find out I was like my mother.

My mother made me truly appreciate women.

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

You lose your individuality a huge amount when you have no money, and I certainly had that experience.

Don’t matter how much money you got, there’s only two kinds of people: there’s saved people and there’s lost people.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

I’m happiest with my family around me.

Upon the farm of the uncle with whom I lived, we did know of the mortgage as some dreadful damper on youthful hopes of things that could not be bought. I do have a vivid recollection that the major purpose of a farm was to produce a living right on the spot for the family.

The way I try to represent my family and coaches, I think all are characteristics the league aspires to portray. That’s just who I am.

I used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.

Money is a strange business. People who haven’t got it aim it strongly. People who have are full of troubles.

Of course, I do everything for money.

So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.

You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.

She would have thrived as a grandmother. I know how much she would have contributed to their lives, and I am sad they will miss out on that.

But, you know, you can’t be a star at home.

There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else.

A man in debt is so far a slave.

My name is Adam Sandler. I’m not particularly talented. I’m not particularly good-looking. And yet I’m a multi-millionaire.

Money doesn’t make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million.

The CIA is made up of boys whose families sent them to Princeton but wouldn’t let them into the family brokerage business.

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

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.

Treat your children like the blessings they are or don’t have them at all.

My father had died, and very swiftly, too, of cancer of the esophagus. He was 79. I am 61. In whatever kind of a ‚race‘ life may be, I have very abruptly become a finalist.

The only thing I have to go by is what my mother and father told me, how I was brought up.

When in doubt, don’t.

Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

If you were to ask me to choose between democratic values and wealth, power, prosperity and fame, I will very easily and without any doubt choose democratic values.

Wars are caused by undefended wealth.

I would say the most satisfying thing actually is watching my three children each pick up on their own interests and work many more hours per week than most people that have jobs at trying to intelligently give away that money in fields that they particularly care about.

I am proud to have been born in Iowa. Through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, it was a place of adventure and daily discoveries – the wonder of the growing crops, the excitements of the harvest, the journeys to the woods for nuts and hunting, the joys of snowy winters, the comfort of the family fireside, of good food and tender care.

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.

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

Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.

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

That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings.

If something inconveniences my children too much or takes me away from them, I won’t do it.

I think about my own sons and my own daughters, and I’m sure that many parents are concerned about what their children are exposed to.

What gift has providence bestowed on man that is so dear to him as his children?

The surest way to remain poor is to be an honest man.

Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.

If the people are happy, united, wealthy, and powerful, we presume the rest. We conclude that to be good from whence good is derived.

My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.

The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.

And I come here as a daughter, raised on the South Side of Chicago – by a father who was a blue-collar city worker and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me.

A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.

And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think, I don’t think anyone in my family would really feel I’d done them an injustice by saying that. We didn’t see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home.

In ‚Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education‘ and ‚Why A Students Work for C Students,‘ I reveal the secrets of the wealthy and what schools will never teach you about money.

You bring children into the world. You love them with heart and soul.

My three children have brought me great joy.

The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.

Oil has become the principal wealth in the hands of the great Yankee transnationals; through this energy source, they had an instrument that considerably expanded their political power in the world.

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

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

I’ve lost both parents in the last two years, so you pick up on that stuff. That’s the most terrible thing about being an author – standing there at your mother’s funeral, but you don’t switch the author off. So your own innermost thoughts are grist for the mill.

My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.

My whole family have all been through a difficult time. My focus is my children, our children.
