In Hill Harper’s book entitled The Wealth Cure, the author used a number of quotes. I jotted down the ones I found entertaining, inspiring or thought-provoking so I could share them with you. I hope you enjoy them. Here they are:
“Today, there are three kinds of people: the have’s, the have-not’s, and the have-not-paid-for-what-they-have’s.” – Earl Wilson, American newspaper columnist
I enjoy reading famous quotes, and as I was flipping through Robert G. Allen’s book titled Multiple Streams of Income, some of the quotes caught my attention. While some are thought-provoking or inspirational, others are just plain entertaining. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
