These money motivation quotes are organized around earning, saving, investing, and what wealth is for. “Famously wealthy” is an editorial description, not a claim that each person meets a particular wealth ranking today. A quote belongs here only when its wording and attribution can be traced to a source; familiar lines repeated across quote lists are not automatically verified.
Why this page does not list 101 unverified quotes
A 101-item collection is useful only if readers can trust the words and attributions. The available source material does not establish 101 quotations: it identifies no draft list to check, and it provides one exact quotation with a traceable source. Filling the remaining slots with commonly repeated sayings would risk misquotations and false attributions, so this page includes only the line that can be responsibly presented from the available evidence.
Investing and market temperament
Warren Buffett on fear and greed
“Our goal is more modest: we simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.”
Warren Buffett wrote this in Berkshire Hathaway’s 1986 Chairman’s Letter. PastWisdom traces the wording to that letter; its source note is a useful attribution trail, though the original letter is the best final check for exact wording. The line describes an investing temperament, not a guaranteed strategy or an instruction to buy whenever markets fall. An investor’s goals, time horizon, and ability to absorb losses still matter.

How to judge money quotes before sharing them
- Look for the original source. A dated letter, interview transcript, speech, book, or official archive is stronger evidence than a quote page that gives no source.
- Check the wording and context. A short excerpt can change meaning when separated from the surrounding discussion, especially when it sounds like financial advice.
- Do not treat repetition as proof. Several websites repeating the same attribution may all rely on an earlier unsourced list.
Quote roundups are an established format: Forbes published a collection of money quotes in 2019, and Fortune published a collection in 2016. Those articles demonstrate the genre; they do not independently verify every quotation in a new list. For more recent Buffett context, the Associated Press reported on passages from his 2024 shareholder letter, published February 22, 2025, and The Washington Post reviewed memorable quotations from his shareholder letters on May 4, 2025.
