Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the "gotta have it" scale. 
~Zig Ziglar


Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches. 
~Napoleon Hill
