不論是在獲取、支出、儲蓄還是投資,多數人都會用大量時間思考財富與金錢。一些地球上最富有的人早已明確表明了他們對于萬能的金錢的態度,雖然我們很容易因此深受打擊并且幻想破滅。 下面是近現代最有影響力的一些人說過的有關金錢的名言。 約翰尼·卡什: “成功就是你要為世界上每件事操心,金錢除外。” |
Whether it’s in its acquisition, expenditure, saving or investing, most people devote a lot of time thinking about wealth and money. While it’s easy to be overwhelmed and disillusioned, some of the planet’s wealthiest inhabitants have clearly stated their position on the almighty dollar. Here’s what some of the greatest influencers of our time had to say about it. “Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.” — Johnny Cash |
沃倫·巴菲特: “第一條原則: 永遠不要虧錢。第二條原則: 永遠不要忘記第一條原則。” |
“Rule number 1: Never lose money. Rule number 2: Never forget rule number 1.” — Warren Buffett |
史蒂夫·喬布斯: “創新與你擁有多少研發資金無關。當蘋果還在研制Mac電腦的時候,IBM已投入了至少百倍于我們的資金用于研發。這不是錢的問題。它取決于你擁有的人才,你的領導方式以及你有多懂行。” |
“Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.” — Steve Jobs |
比爾·蓋茨: “我理解對于擁有百萬美元財富的欲望,這無疑會帶來一定的自由,有意義的自由。但一旦你所擁有的遠超于此,我得告訴你,漢堡包仍然是漢堡包。” |
“I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars, there’s a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that. But once you get much beyond that, I have to tell you, it’s the same hamburger.” — Bill Gates |
碧昂斯: “我堅信,女性應該在經濟上獨立。我們必須面對事實,金錢讓男性有了操控一切的權力。讓男性有了定義價值的權力。他們定義什么是性感。定義什么才是女性氣質。這太荒謬了。” |
“I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let’s face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what’s sexy. And men define what’s feminine. It’s ridiculous.” — Beyoncé |
馬婭·安杰盧: “你唯有在所愛的領域才能獲得真正的成就,別把賺錢當作目標,而是去追求你所愛的事,并做得很好,讓別人無法忽視你。” |
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.” — Maya Angelou |
查理·卓別林: “我從事這個行業是為了錢,只是在這個過程產生了藝術。如果人們因此對我幻想破滅,我也沒辦法,這是事實!” |
“I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can’t help it. It’s the truth.” — Charlie Chaplin |
亨利·福特: “寄希望于金錢來獲得獨立,永遠都不可能實現。在這個世界上,唯一能夠帶來真正安全感的,是知識、經驗和能力的積累。” |
“If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.” — Henry Ford |

羅納德·里根:“金錢買不來幸福,但肯定會提升你的回憶。” |
“Money can’t buy happiness, but it will certainly get you a better class of memories.” — Ronald Reagan |
