Most people put money in their piggy bank. I buy a goose that lays golden eggs over and over again. That's what an asset is.
When you combine boring with fear, you have fun.
There is more opportunity nowadays at easier and better prices than ever before. I have businesses in probably fifty countries throughout the world and it's never been easier to do business throughout the world. Never. I don't know what people are complaining about.
If you took all of my money away, I would have it right back. I don't really care about money. I mean I do but why worry about it because I can make my own money all the time.
As the owner of the company, I'm always focusing on how my company can do more for less. And it's one of the principles of the world.
The harder you work for money, the more you are taxed, the harder your money works, the less it is taxed.
I believe in taking care of myself and teaching other people who want to learn. I don't believe in just printing money and giving money. I'm willing to teach those who are willing to learn. If you're not willing to learn, then go vote for Obama. I'm not Republican or Democrat, so don't get me wrong.
I don't believe in giving people money. In Sunday school [you learn] that if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for life; but you give him a fish, you feed him for a day.
I think it's a tragedy that our schools don't teach kids about money. I think it's a tragedy that it has to come to an emergency before we evolve.
I don't save money. Save is a four letter word! I like to borrow money because I can get richer faster on borrowed money. I have what is called retained earnings, so I don't have to save money. If I need money, I will go out and borrow it.
Get out of your own way. Often, we're our own worst enemy when working towards our goals.
Self-discipline is the No. 1 delineating factor between the rich, the middle class and the poor.
Most people try to get rich by being cheap and the price for that is that you live cheap and there is so much money out there; why would you want to live cheap?
I can see being kind to people, but I don't think giving them money solves the problem. I think it makes the problem worse and it prolongs the ultimate, inevitable end anyway.
