“No one got rich on a government program. Do not choose to be a common man. You can be uncommon.”

If you aren’t really careful, ‘The Good Enough’ can become the enemy of ‘The Best.’

Work is a surefire money-making scheme.

People are in such a hurry to launch their product or business that they seldom look at marketing from a bird’s eye view and they don’t create a systematic plan.

Debt is normal. Be weird.

You will only sacrifice when you passionately believe in the outcome.

There’s a great place to go when you’re broke–to work!

Money is not good or evil. It has no morals or intentions on its own. Money reflects the character of the user.

After losing everything, I went on a quest to find out how money really works, how I could get control of it, and how I could have confidence in handling it.

A good financial planner is going to do more than pick your funds.

I want to preach a new doctrine. A complete separation of business and government.

The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the goverment.

Government cannot close its eyes to the pollution of waters, to the erosion of soil, to the slashing of forests any more than it can close its eyes to the need for slum clearance and schools.

In our democracy officers of the government are the servants, and never the masters of the people.

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.

The test of a government is not how popular it is with the powerful and privileged few but how honestly and fairly it deals with the many who must depend on it.

We simply must have faith in each other, faith in our ability to govern ourselves, and faith in the future of this Nation. Restoring that faith and that confidence to America is now the most important task we face.

The United States is a place where the men govern, but the women rule.
