We’ve just finished a couple weeks of deep investing posts, so I thought a Friday Money Proverbs would be a nice change of pace. Money Proverbs are a fun way to learn new and review old truths. I hope you enjoy these:
Learning Proverbs
Gullible people are gifted with stupidity; but the prudent shall look for knowledge.
Proverbs 14:18
Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time wasted in disapproving of others.
Unknown
By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
Proverbs 24:3-4
Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps errs.
Proverbs 19:2
Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experience and invest them in the future.
Jim Rohm
Saving Proverbs
Go to the ant, sluggard, consider her ways and be wise; who having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provides her food in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest.
Proverbs 6:6-8
The wise man saves for the future but the foolish man spends whatever he gets.
Proverbs 21:20
Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
Proverbs 10:4
The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.
Proverbs 21:5
Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers little by little makes it grow.
Proverbs 13:11
Helping Others Proverbs
You can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.
Gloria Steinem
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
Mother Teresa
Practicing the Golden Rule is not a sacrifice; it is an investment.
Unknown
Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.
J. Paul Getty
Goodness is the only investment that never fails.
Henry D. Thoreau
One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but come to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
Proverbs 11:24-25
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me….I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.
Jesus (Matthew 25)
Grand Finale
Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.
William A. Ward

I love these proverbs! Such a different way to look at how to deal with money. I especially liked the last one. The part about investigate before investing reminded me of a book I just read: The Vigilant Investor.
