"Lack of money means discomfort, means squalid..." - Quote by George Orwell

“Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration: so that the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concern of professional [or scholarly] writers.”

“To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.”

“We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.”

“Just imagine living on 21,000 a year. I mean you have 20 percent of the population doing that. So you don't have to worry about guys like me.”

“Today they say that we are free, only to be chained in poverty.”

“There is little favorable to be said about poverty, but it was often an incubator of true friendship.”

“Watch your finances like a hawk.”

“The last thing my kids ever did to earn money was lose their baby teeth.”

“I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.”
