If you want a really, really good book on money, try “The Richest Man in Babylon”
I know this isn’t really a “Money quote” but the whole book is so incredibly good, putting everthing is such common sense terms, that you can take it whole as a quote! Check it out, it should be at the library as it’s a pretty old book. You’ll see what I mean.

This is not a quote but my philosophy about money. One, never lend money you cannot afford to give away, that way if it dosen’t get paid back, it won’t matter. Two, never risk money you can not afford to lose. I find this attitude toward money has worked well for me.
