The person who takes no chances generally must take whatever is left over after others have finished choosing. Overcaution is as bad, if not worse, than lack of caution. Both should be avoided. Life will always contain an element of chance. Not to win is not a sin. But not to try is a tragedy.

It has been said that if you aim at nothing in life, you are likely to hit nothing! I have never had anyone come to me and say, 'Venita, I plan to fail.' Yet I have observed many who failed to plan and who unfortunately met with the same dismal results.

You would be surprised how many people are in the market not to make money but for the thrill of it!

You will find that free advice about your money is always available. It's usually those who lean back and give you the most 'positive' advice whose finances are bordering on catastrophe. They are often wrong, but never in doubt.

The money game is not like any other game. You cannot choose whether you'll play, for the money game is the only game in town.

There are only three things you can do with a dollar: spend, loan, or own.

I do believe I can forgive almost any shortcoming a person may have except lack of enthusiasm.
