When you read a quote, it seems like the author (known or anonymous) condensed hundreds of thousands of explanations into a handful of words.

This gives them a higher value. We all use them from time to time to convey powerful messages.

The problem is that we are not always exposed to them, especially when we need them the most.

Sometimes we go through pivotal moments in our lives, have doubts, and seek answers.

Quotes can be what you’re looking for, especially when it comes to money.

Money is the foundation of our societies and how we live the majority of our lives.

The problem is that we don’t always have a clear idea of it, even if we work with it all the time.

That’s why, as you will see as you progress through the text, I’ve prepared this list of quotes about money that can be illuminating in your life.

You ready? Let’s dive in.
