By 2003, every fool was getting into real estate. The checkout girl at my local supermarket handed me her newly printed real estate agent business card.

What you think of me is none of my business. What is most important is what I think of myself.

Self-discipline is the No. 1 delineating factor between the rich, the middle class and the poor.

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.

Be sure to have friends who demand more of you rather than tell you why you cannot do what you want to do.

The main cause of poverty is self-inflicted fear and ignorance.
