I recently did a Google search for quotes about money, and was surprised to see how many of the quotes felt negative. Then I stumbled across The Positivity Blog where you can find all the quotes below and more. Here are some of my favourite quotes from their site.
“Before you spend, earn.” ~William A. Ward
“Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.” ~Ayn Rand
“Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.” ~Jim Rohn
“The person who doesn't know where his next dollar is coming from usually doesn't know where his last dollar went.” ~Unknown
“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.” ~Henry David Thoreau
“It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.” ~George Lorimer
“That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest.” ~Henry David Thoreau
“If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.” ~Ben Franklin
“Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.” ~Norman Vincent Peale
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.” ~Maya Angelou
“A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.” ~Jonathan Swift
And here’s a bonus quote, one of my favourites from our very own Scruffy Muffin:
Protect and respect your money!
It's important to watch the way you talk about money in front of children. They are little sponges and pick up on everything! The way you talk about money every day can affect your own situation. Have you ever wondered why your friend who’s always complaining about money can’t get their act together? I believe the way you act and talk is connected to how things go for you in life.
If you're always talking and thinking negatively about money, you’ll have bad luck with it. Think positively. Think about all the ways money helps you. I love money! It helps me experience things I wouldn’t be able to otherwise. It puts food on my table and a roof over my head, and for that I’m grateful.
Help your kids appreciate what money can do for them by being grateful for what it brings. Do you have a favourite quote about money? Please share it in the comments.
