“I don't worry about maintaining the quality of my life, because every day I work on improving it.”

“The difference between success and failure is not which stock you buy or which piece of real estate you buy, it's asset allocation.”

“If you lose 50%, it takes 100% to get back to where you started-and that takes something you can never get back: time.”

“We're emotionally unfit. We expect things to be given to us that other generations had to earn. We think we're supposed to get homes with no money down and be supported by the government if we're unemployed.”

“You either master money, or, on some level, money masters you.”

“Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth.

It's equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and create value for yourself and others.”

“Doing nothing makes us crazy. But freedom comes when you don't have to work.”
