James Buchan

What is important for kids to learn is that no matter how much money they have, earn, win, or inherit, they need to know how to spend it, how to save it, and how to give it to others in need. This is what handling money is about, and this is why we give kids an allowance. Barbara Coloroso

Money and office and success are the consolations of impotence. Fortune turns kind to such solid people and lets them suck their bone in peace.

And there is no lostness like that which comes to a man when a perfect and certain pattern has dissolved about him. There is no hater like one who has greatly loved. John Steinbeck
