Whoever decides to hate others has chosen to walk alone.

Those that think banks and governments are making them poor haven't seen the whole picture. Poverty is the act of trusting their system.

You think what you see in poor countries is poverty? No. What you really see is very poor states of mind, poor values, poor awareness, poor compassion, poor empathy, poor moral and a poor ethic. Poverty, as in lack of money, is just a consequence of all those things.

You will not know the purpose of life until you imagine a better one for someone else; You will not know the purpose of money until you work for someone else; You will not know the value of freedom until someone takes it away from you; You will not see until blindness keeps you hurt; You will not understand until ignorance causes you frustration; You will not be religious until you realize how God's laws are independent of His conscience.

Do not tell me how much money you make. I do not care about that. Do not tell me about how many cars you own or countries you visited. It doesn't tell me anything about you. Tell me instead about how you think and which beliefs you treasure the most. Then, I will be able to tell you who are, who you can be, and who you will become.

An entrepreneur is not someone that starts his own business. An entrepreneur is someone that realizes he does not want to live the rest of his life as a slave and decides to buy his freedom. Starting a business is just a common consequence of such decision.

Who's poorer, the one who begs for money or those who have not enough to give away? Or are they reflecting one another and the same nature?

I take from the poor and give to the rich. They just happen to be the same individuals. Poor and stupid before they learn from me and pay with their time and money, but rich and successful after they do. The truly miserable, however, don't know how poor they are, and I want nothing from them.

My decision isn't as important as the freedom to decide. And my income isn't as important as what I do to earn it.
