“I think of money only as a medium of exchange. In reality, money by itself has very little value. So as soon as I have money, I want to exchange it for something of real value. The irony is that many people who cling desperately to money spend that money on things of very little value—and that is why they are poor.”

“The business behind the business is the real game. It’s the business behind the business that makes money regardless of who wins the game or which way the market goes—up or down. It’s the business that sells the tickets to the game. It does not buy the tickets.”

“An upset is our maker’s way of telling us that we need to learn something. It is a tap on our shoulder saying, ‘Pay attention. You have something important to learn. If you lie, blame, justify, or deny the upset, you waste the upset and will waste a precious gem of wisdom..”

“In the early 1990s, Donald Trump was nearly $1 billion in debt personally and $9 billion in debt corporately. An interviewer asked him if he was worried. He replied, "Worrying is a waste of time. Worrying gets in my way of working to solve these problems.”

“Razlika između uspješne osobe i prosječne osobe je težina kritike koju može podnijeti. Prosječna osoba ne može podnijeti mnogo kritike i zato ostaje prosječna cijeli život. Zato se ne pretvara u vođu. Prosječni ljudi žive u strahu od onoga što bi drugi mogli reći ili misliti o njima. Zato provode živote povlađujući drugima i pokušavajući se složiti s njima... žive u strahu od kritike. Žive u strahu od onoga što bi netko drugi mogao pomisliti, ili zbog onoga zbog čega bi ih netko mogao kritizirati. Ljudi su uvijek kritični prema drugima.”

“Ako dopustite da vam jedna loša ocjena uništi život, onda ionako nemate budućnosti. Ako dopustite da jedna loša ocjena znači vašu propast, onda bi vas stvarni život ionako uništio. Stvarni život je mnogo teži od engleskog u srednjoj školi. A ako krivite svojeg učitelja engleskog i ako mislite da je on bio strog, onda vas čeka ružno iznenađenje kad uđete u stvarni svijet. Svijet izvan škole pun je ljudi koji su mnogo stroži, mnogo tvrđi i mnogo zahtjevniji od vašeg učitelja engleskog. Ponavljam: ako dopustite jednoj lošoj ocjeni i jednom učitelju engleskog da vam uništi život, onda ionako nemate budućnosti.”

“While you were in school, you got a report card once a quarter. A financial statement is your report card once you leave school. The problem is that since most people have not been trained to read financial statements or trained in how to keep a personal financial statement, they have no idea how they are doing once they leave school. Many people have failing marks on their personal financial statements but think they are doing well because they have a high-paying job and a nice home. Unfortunately, if I were handing out the grades, anyone who was not financially independent by age 45 would receive a failing grade. It is not that I want to be cruel. I just want people to wake up and maybe do a few things differently, before they run out of their most important asset—time.”

“The number-one control you must have to be an investor is control over yourself. If you cannot control yourself, the highs and lows of the market will run you, and you will lose during one of those ups or downs.”

“One of the reasons the rich get richer is that they buy more investments by taking advantage of the tax laws. In essence, the money that would have been paid in taxes is used to buy additional assets, which provide another deduction against income, which reduces the taxes due, legally.”

“We soon fall asleep in each other’s arms, knowing to myself that I captured her, like a prisoner in a cage.”
― Fernando Lachica, quote from OFW Struggles Hopes and Dreams
“ Poor little old human beings – they’re jerked into this world without having any idea where they came from or what it is they are supposed to do, or how long they have to do it in. Or where they are gonna wind up after that. But bless their hearts, most of them wake up every morning and keep on trying to make some sense out of it. Why, you can’t help but love them, can you? I just wonder why more of them aren’t as crazy as betsy bugs. ”
Aunt Elner, 1978”

“Who lit the fuse on your tampon?”

“I need to devour you."
Those words manage to knock the air right back out of my lungs, and my head spinsas one of his hands skims around my body. He splays it across the small of my back, pulling me closer to him, and leaning over until his lips are a centimeter from my collarbone.
"Sienna?" he growls, and I murmur to acknowledge him.
"I'm going to taste you."
He wasn't asking me, he was flat out telling me what was going to happen between us, and yet I felt myself nod, felt my body mold against his the moment his warm lips sought out the center of my throat.
"You smell like apples." he wispers harshly before his tongue darts out to trace the column of my thorat. I moan, letting my head fall all the way back.
"And you taste like the best kind of sin.”
― Emily Snow, quote from All over You
“I know you’ll miss me, that’s what makes it a little bit easier; knowing I’ll be
in your thoughts and on your mind till you’re back in my arms.”

The Heart of TexasBookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
