But I was going to be a teacher my entire life, so I wasn't counting on money to much.
~ Clay Aiken
Writing became an obsessive compulsive habit but I had almost no money so I thought about being an urban firefighter and having lots of free time in which to write or becoming an English teacher and thinking about books and writers on a daily basis. That swayed me.
~ David Guterson
My mother was an English teacher who decided to become a math teacher, and she used me as a guinea pig at home. My father had been a math teacher and then went to work at a steel mill because, frankly, he could make more money doing that.
~ Freeman A. Hrabowski Iii
While teaching, I also worked undercover in the lower courts by saying I was a young law teacher wanting experience in criminal law. The judges were happy to assist me but what I learned was how corrupt the lower courts were. Judges were accepting money right in the courtroom.
~ Samuel Dash
You may feel overwhelmed by your own poverty and the labors of the day. But if you decide not to wait until you have more strength and more money, and if you pray for the Holy Spirit as you go, you will, when you arrive, know what to do and how to help someone even poorer than you are.
~ Henry B. Eyring
My strength is in finding ways to make the government work for the people: finding waste, or money that is not being properly used... or finding opportunities that are out there and making them work for the community.
~ Tammy Duckworth
I have a business manager and a book-keeper who deals with our household bills. My husband and I sit down with her for a weekly report on how much money is going out, but I'm not terribly interested, and I don't have the patience for it.
~ Jane Green
Does anyone want to see a person who's making the money that the newspapers say I'm making complaining, 'Woe is me, my life is terrible, and people are being unfair?' No one would've had any patience for that. I wouldn't have any patience for that.
~ Matt Lauer
I've been called Mr. Patient Money because I have the patience to work through challenging circumstances.
~ N. Murray Edwards
Additionally, this tax forces family businesses to invest in Uncle Sam rather than the economy. When families are forced to repurchase businesses because of the death tax, that means less money is being invested in new jobs and capital expansion.
~ Todd Tiahrt
I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia.
~ Cher
If increasing income equality is the goal, it might be wiser to put money into infrastructure than to subsidize manufacturing. Construction also pays good wages, but with lower educational requirements. And America's infrastructure needs are enormous.
~ Christina Romer
If money, education, and honesty will not bring to me as much privilege, as much equality as they bring to any American citizen, then they are to me a curse, and not a blessing.
~ John Hope
It's important to me that I don't get trapped in the whole teen scene, because I feel that you can get lost in those kind of movies, and they aren't really about the actors; they're about the selling of the concept, and how much money it makes.
~ Kirsten Dunst
Obviously when you're a teen you have no money, so you make, like, three outfits out of one dress. You're like, 'OK cut the arms here. Alright: New party, cut them to here.'
~ Marina And The Diamonds
Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.
~ Macaulay Culkin
When I was a teen, I was never really into the captain of the football team or the student body president. The guys I liked were quirky and different: They listened to music I'd never heard of, never had lunch or gas money, and could always make you laugh.
~ Sarah Dessen
Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.
~ Chantal Kreviazuk
It is not the money but the self-respect and wanting to create good music.
~ Barry Gibb
When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.
~ Greg Lake
There is hardly any money interest in art, and music will be there when money is gone.
~ Duke Ellington
If you invent something, you're doing a creative act. It's like writing a novel or composing music. You put your heart and soul into it, and money. It's years of your life, it's your house remortgaged, huge emotional investment and financial investment.
~ James Dyson
A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.
~ Ian Anderson
When they look back on me I want 'em to remember me not for all my wives, although I've had a few, and certainly not for any mansions or high livin' money I made and spent. I want 'em to remember me simply for my music.
~ Jerry Lee Lewis
Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.
~ Billy Joel
I didn't think we would ever make enough money to pay rent by playing music.
~ Gregg Allman
Stop trying to treat music like it's a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can't be cheap, either.
~ Jeff Tweedy
I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.
~ Carol Burnett
Save your money. You're going to need twice as much money in your old age as you think.
~ Michael Caine
It used to cost money to disclose and distribute information. In the digital age it costs money not to.
~ Heather Brooke
I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.
~ Willie Nelson
A lot of the girls my age were impressed by silly stuff like money and fame. I wanted to be able to have intellectual and spiritual conversations with someone who was on the same page as me.
~ Nick Cannon
It is critical that kids start to learn the value of money, short-term and long-term saving and budgeting at an early age.
~ Alexa Von Tobel
After you're older, two things are possibly more important than any others: health and money.
~ Helen Gurley Brown
Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping.
~ Bo Derek
Making money is a happiness. And that's a great incentive. Making other people happy is a super-happiness.
~ Muhammad Yunus
So, my happiness doesn't come from money or fame. My happiness comes from seeing life without struggle.
~ Nicki Minaj
You always hear the phrase, money doesn't buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it's not really true. I got a new car because the old one's lease expired.
~ Sergey Brin
I'm not motivated by money or power or fame. In the end, it doesn't bring much happiness. The only thing that is driving me is self-satisfaction, self-validation.
~ William Clay Ford
People are chasing cash, not happiness. When you chase money, you're going to lose. You're just going to. Even if you get the money, you're not going to be happy.
~ Gary Vaynerchuk
