    Frederick Buechner (1981). “The hungering dark”

  • It's not about you, it's about the next person. The single best use of a business book is to help someone else. Sharing what you read, handing the book to a person who needs it... pushing those around you to get in sync and to take action-that's the main reason it's a book, not a video or a seminar. A book is a souvenir and a container and a motivator and an easily leveraged tool. Hoarding books makes them worth less, not more.

    Book   Dark   Light  
    Louis L'Amour (2008). “Education of a Wandering Man”, p.82, Bantam
  • When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not?

Hoarding has contributed unconscionably to price-boosting. The Government should institute measures calculated to arrest inflation. America's commitments are already so mountainous, international and domestic, that the pruning knife should be applied. You and I, all American taxpayers, don't possess limitless resources-our pockets are not bottomless. Curb inflation at every turn!

  • Reaganomics, that makes sense to me. It means if you don't have enough money, it's just because poor people are hoarding it.

  • If a man has an apartment stacked to the ceiling with newspapers, we call him crazy. If a woman has a trailer house full of cats, we call her nuts. But when people pathologically hoard so much cash that they impoverish the entire nation, we put them on the cover of Fortune magazine and pretend that they are role models.

  • Americans want action for their money. They are fascinated by its self- reproducing qualities if it's put to work. Gold- hoarding goes against the American grain; it fits in better with European pessimism than with America's traditional optimism.

    Paula Nelson (1977). “The Joy of Money: The Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom”, Bantam Dell Pub Group

    Billy Graham (2013). “Quotes from Billy Graham: A Legacy of Faith”, p.21, B&H Publishing Group
  • Museums have no political power, but they do have the possibility of influencing the political process.

This role is not merely scientifically important, but it is also a cultural necessity.

  • If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

    Children   Cake   Taste  
    Samuel Johnson (1836). “Johnsoniana, Or, Supplement to Boswell: Being Anecdotes and Sayings of Dr. Johnson”, p.47

  • Money is like any other language through which people communicate. People who speak the same language tend to find each other. If you are one whose money speaks of protection and hoarding, you will find yourself involved with others whose money speaks the same language. You will be staring at each other with hooded eyes and closed fists and suspicion will be your common value. If your money speaks of sharing, you will find yourself among people who want their money to speak the language of sharing, and your world will be filled with possibility.
