My Poor Dad Often Said, 'I'd Rather Be Happy Than Rich.' My Rich Dad Said, 'Why Not Be Both?'

Money is not the goal. Money has no value. The value comes from the dreams money helps achieve.

Rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle class tend to buy luxuries first.

Don't be afraid of your worst times. If you learn from them, you'll look back on them as the best times.

I could be a school teacher and be rich. It has nothing to do with your money; it has to do with your knowledge. If I was a school teacher, I would be ten times richer because I have more time off! They get the summer off, holidays off, weekends off.

In school, you are given the lesson first. On the street, you're given the mistake first and then it's up to you to find the lesson, if you ever find it.

Giving a poor person money keeps them poorer longer...often forever; give them knowledge instead.
