Results from Poor Man's College:

The motivation for all personal behavior is to produce a sense of "FEEL GOOD," a sense of inner peace and well being. To expect a person to go against his desire to feel good or as good as he can feel under any momentary condition is illogical and irrational. In the observation of human behavior, one will notice every human act is a response to a personal need. This is true whether one signs a million dollar contract, scratches one's nose, rolls over in bed, or just day dreams his life away. People will do things which seem contrary to this concept, but the bottom line is they perceive some kind of payoff which will make them feel good. And the payoff is almost always emotional. When you ask people why they want to be financially independent, they might say that they could buy things without having to worry about where the money will come from. And when they worry, they don't FEEL GOOD. A drug addict, a compulsive eater, an alcoholic and anyone with a compulsive habit will continue with their habits because at the moment of action they believe and feel it will make them feel good. That is why breaking compulsive habits are so difficult.: Sidney Madwed
Whatever touches the nerves of motive, whatever shifts man's moral position, is mightier than steam, or calorie, or lightening.: Edwin Hubbel Chapin
Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.: Archibald Alexander
The way by which you may get money almost without exception leads downward.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

When you have too much month for you paycheck, then what you need to do is realize that there is abundance all around you and focus on the abundance and not your lack and as night follows day abundance will come to you.: Sidney Madwed
The safest way to double your money is to fold over once and put it in your pocket.: Kin [F. McKinney] Hubbard
Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; "Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith.": Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
If you make money your god, it will plague you like the devil.: Henry Fielding (1707 - 1754)
Money never starts an idea; it is the idea that starts the money.: W. J. Cameron
