I love quotes. One that I think of when I think of finances is:

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”

To me, this one means that the only way to change your finances is by changing your actions. Do you have any quotes that come to mind when thinking of your finances?

Ha! Good one Phoenyx. I've certainly had days when that was my motto too!

Here's one I've been thinking of a lot lately.

"A penny saved is a penny earned." Does that sound right?

Though I doubt they were written with money in mind, Maya Angelou's quotes are always powerful. Here are some of my favorites...I believe them to be very true in respect to money:

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

Nothing will work unless you do.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.

When you know better, you do better.

Thanks for the great quotes. I put a quote of the day up for my students. I'm going to use many of these.
