"Do not let fancy outrun your means...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Remember, that six pounds a year is but a groat a day.”

“I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people.”

“Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!”

“I always avoid prophesying beforehand, because it is a much better policy to prophesy after the event has already taken place.”

“There is no talent so useful toward rising in the world, or which puts men more out of the reach of fortune, than that quality generally possessed by the dullest sort of men, and in common speech called discretion; a species of lower prudence, by the assistance of which, people of the meanest intellectuals, without any other qualification, pass through the world in great tranquillity, and with universal good treatment, neither giving nor taking offence.”

“Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.”

“Private fortunes, in the present state of our circulation, are at the mercy of those self-created money lenders, and are prostrated by the floods of nominal money with which their avarice deluges us.”

“Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?”

“Traditional investment vehicles such as IRAs, CDs, stocks and bonds do have their place, but for the rich, they are used more as temporary storage facilities rather than life-long homes.”
