“The funniest thing people say to me: I wish I had your life . Hello! I make a living writing about it.”
“At what point in your life do you say I have had enough... money, food, clothes, these possessions that we keep killing one another for even power and dominance? One advice, look at your age and declare that my age dictates I start doing this thing, I should stop doing this and that, I should say this and not that... in essence grow your brain to reason. Just like that.”
“Wachawi wanamwabudu Shetani. Lakini Shetani wanayemwabudu si Shetani Ibilisi aliyeumbwa na Mwenyezi Mungu kuja kuudanganya ulimwengu wote. Ni Shetani roho ya mabadiliko, mabadiliko ya kweli, ya ufahamu kamilia ulimwengu huu ambamo sisi sote tunaishi. Wachawi, kwa maneno mengine, wanaabudu miungu – kama vile Inanna wa Mesopotamia, Isis wa Misri, Asherah wa Kaanani au Belus wa Assyria ambaye ndiye mungu wa kwanza kuabuadiwa kama sanamu duniani – iliyotwaliwa na Shetani tangu misingi ya ulimwengu huu kusimikwa. Dhambi aliyotenda Shetani mbinguni ni ndogo kuliko dhambi wanazotenda wachawi duniani, ijapokuwa dhambi aliyotenda Shetani haitaweza kusamehewa na ndiyo maana Shetani hataweza kuwasamehe wanadamu. Ni jukumu letu kuwaita wachawi wote kutoka Babeli na kuwaleta katika ukweli kama kweli wanayemwabudu ni Shetani Ibilisi, Shetani Beelzebub, Shetani Asmodeus, Shetani Leviathan, Shetani Mammon, Shetani Amon au Shetani Belphegor ambao ni mabingwa wa kiburi, uroho, zinaa, wivu, fedha, hasira na uvivu duniani. Wachawi hawajui, na usipojua waweza kufa bila kujua.”
“Your money does not define your standard, your personality does.”
“If money is a curse, may God smite me with it, and may I never recover!”
“Truth is like poetry. And most people fucking hate poetry.”
“It reminded me of a study I had read about Alzheimer s disease. The study said that the disease often enhanced and reinforced people s existing personality traits. If a person was quiet and gentle, with Alzheimer s they became even more docile. If a person was argumentative and negative the disease made them unbearable to be around. I couldn t help but wonder if sudden wealth had that same effect on a person.”
“80% of people work for money. The rest are called successful people.”
“If you wouldn t invite a thief in your house why would you allow a liar in. the only difference between the two is the thief steals your money and objects the liar steals with words by deceit of manipulation by Bonnie Zackson Koury”
“When you’re always scheming about ways to make money, it’s like a part of you is lost.”
“Rich people always had someone to call who could arrange something that the average guy couldn t get done, no matter how right or wrong. The only call the poor man could make was to Jesus. If Jesus didn t answer, Smith and Wesson always did.”
“In this day and age we care more about our pride than our lives.”
“Proverbs 22:7 The rich rule over the poor and the borrower is slave to the lender. Galatians 5:1 do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
“Kila kipato kina mashetani yake, mengine mazuri na mengine mabaya, lakini mengi ni mabaya. Wakati mwingine maskini ahitaji pesa, pesa anaweza kushindwa kuidhibiti, anahitaji paa na kuta nne kujisetiri yeye na familia yake.”
“Unhappy poor people at least have the fantasy that money will make them happy; unhappy rich people don’t even have that.”
“In India, we have a saying: Always look down, never look up, he said. When you are trying to determine where you stand in life, don t look upward at the rich people, the people with everything. Look downward at the people who have nothing, those begging on the street, those living in the slums. There s no end to looking up and feeling badly. And if you try to spit upward it only falls down upon your own face. Only by looking down do you understand your dharma.”
“To truly strip a man of everything, one must take away his community, money, and corrode the core of his beliefs until he is left bathed in the agony of isolation.”
