Some Thoughts On Money

 

"You get no more and no less than 

what you believe you deserve."

Dan Millman

 

 

"Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlours without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses." 

Ralph Waldo Emerson    

 

 

 

"Money, after all, is extremely simple.  It is a part of our transportation system.  It is a simple and direct method of conveying goods from one person to another.  Money is in itself most admirable.  It is essential.  It is not intrinsically evil.  It is one of the most useful devices in social life, and when it does what it was intended to do, it is all help and no hindrance."

    Henry Ford       

 

 

I realize that if I wait until I am no longer afraid to act, write, speak, be, I'll be sending messages on a Ouija board, cryptic complaints from the other side.
