Dave Ramsey People Quotations

When people get scared, they quit giving.

Surround yourself with people who add the fuel of advice and encouragement to your fire.

When you're trying to achieve a goal, negative people will just bring you down. Surround yourself with the positive.

If people in America would get their finances together and start taking care of each other, we could put the government out of business.

I'm not against people having new cars. I'm against them having you. We spend a tremendous amount impressing somebody at the stoplight who we'll never meet. It makes you broke and keeps you broke.

We learned early on that if we help enough people, the money will come.

Broke people giving financial advice is like a shop teacher with missing fingers.

Change is painful. Few people have the courage to seek out change. Most people won’t change until the pain of where they are exceeds the pain of change.

This forces you to convert 'her bills' and 'his bills' into 'our bills' and encourages unity and communication in the marriage. I know very few financially successful people who have separate lives and separate checking accounts. If you want a life of your own, you shouldn't get married.

If you help enough people, you don't have to worry about money.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who execute them are not.

If you will make the sacrifices now that most people aren't willing to make, later on you will be able to live as those folks will never be able to live.

Outrageous generosity is a character quality of people who win with money.

Every person falls down at some point. Successful people choose to get back up!

Study the habits of the people you want to be like and then imitate them. If they are succeeding, they must be doing something right.
