Most people fail to realize that in life, it’s not how much money you make, it’s how much money you keep.

Would you have thought that piling up money and getting more of it actually gets rid of it fastest? Of course No, we as people trying to attain financial independence think that more money means a brighter future. However, the recipe is not to pile it up but to be smart.

The basic lesson for any person striving to achieve financial independence is to understand the difference between an asset and liability. Focus on things that put money on the table (Asset) and avoid things that remove it (Liability).

Most of the people don't even realize that there is a way to earn money without being employed. The rich ones do, they have been given this knowledge by their parents and you need to get that knowledge too.

All it takes to start your own business is ambition and drive and nothing else. Don't play safe, take risks.Don't think "I cant afford it" but figure out and find the answer to "How can i afford it".

Invest your time and energy building for your own self, starting your business, own a corporation. Enjoy the tax breaks that you will never get as an employee, even if you business were to go down, your house will still be safe. Be smart about it and gain eternal financial security.

Work on interpersonal and persuasion skills. If you can master the art of selling a product, you will find yourself in a sea of opportunities waiting to be grabbed. Invent money, discover new ways, don't be stricken by the stereotypes because there is always way.

Treat all your jobs as a learning platform for yourself. Don't make your life about earning bread and butter, strengthen the will to grow and prepare yourself to endure, because it is hard but so much worth it.

If you’re the kind of person who has no guts, you just give up every time life pushes you. If you’re that kind of person, you’ll live all your life playing it safe, doing the right things, saving yourself for something that never happens. Then, you die a boring old man.

The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth in what seems to be an instant.

Building something from scratch and holding onto your determination no matter what is all that it takes. You will fall, but you need to get up, whether its your financial life or social life. Stick to this.

In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk.

Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.

As I said, I wish I could say it was easy. It wasn't, but it wasn't hard either. But without a strong reason or purpose, anything in life is hard.

I am getting better with every passing moment.

I very often get that question: 'What is your real profession?' That's because in Sweden, it is 'not allowed' to have more than one profession - there's something suspicious about it! But nowadays it's more accepted that one can do a lot of things.

My parents were born in 1912; they graduated from college into the Depression. They kept notebooks of every nickel they spent, and these habits of frugality from having grown up so poor never left them.

If you're going to be in the business of news and telling people the truth... you've got to be honest. You've got to have the same rules for yourself as you do for everyone else.

The examples of the Obama Administration 'stimulating' jobs everywhere on the planet except here in America are endless.

I think you always learn something in every character you play onstage, either personally or creatively.

Beware, O wanderer, the road is walking too.

I love life and if there's something that I'm playing that I love, I'll research it.

I wish myself to be a prop, if anything, for my songs. I want to be the vehicle for my songs. I would like to colour the material with as much visual expression as is necessary for that song.

I'm being hypocritical because I have a Twitter, but I try to not talk about things like, 'Oh, I had a grapefruit this morning and it was delicious,' because, who cares?

I'm still a news junkie. I mean, I always was, I am now.

We have a renewed energy and vigor in our supporters and we are no longer so frightened about the future.

The reason socialism has failed around the world every time it's been tried is because people in socialist countries have looked at the United States and have said if they can have it that good, we can. It's a failed, flawed ideology, but if you ask socialists why it's always failed, it's because the United States has stood in the way.

I loved ninjas when I was younger.

I said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman's equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.

Yes, and there were changes of light on landscapes and changes of direction of the wind and the force of the wind and weather. That whole scene is too important in Homer to neglect.

The future will one day be the present and will seem as unimportant as the present does now.

I live with romance in my brain. I'm a true-blue Cancerian like that.

I want to have fun. Life ain't no dress rehearsal. I want to have fun. I'm a comedian; I ain't no politician. So everything I do is with humor, with love.

Southerners make such good novelists; they have so many good stories because they have so much family.

I don't look to a man to get pride in myself. It's not about having a black president, it's about having a good president, and I think that's the most important thing.

Yeah, I could go rock on the back porch and do crossword puzzles - but I've got six kids, ages 9 to 16, and someone in the family should work. That's me.

I came from abject poverty. There was nowhere to go but up.

I just lucked into this weird, little obscure cameoesque film career. I just love being a part of film history.
