I have read a lot of books from Robert Kiyosaki.  I think that he single-handedly changed the way we think about money and investing.  I’ll never forget when I read Rich Dad Poor Dad when I was a junior in college.  My thinking and thought processes about money would never be the same. 

Mere “quotes” can’t summarize his impact on financial thinking, but they represent a start for anyone who hasn’t read any of his books.

Here are the my 10 favorite quotes from Robert Kiyosaki:

1) “The only difference between a rich person and poor person is how they use their time.”

2) “It is not how much you make that counts but how much money you keep.”

3) “The reason so many financial advisers are called brokers is because they are often broker than you.”

4) “The rich buy assets.  The poor only have expenses.  The middle class buys liabilities they think are assets.”

5) “A job is really a short-term solution to a long-term problem.”

6) “Be sure to have friends who demand more of you rather than tell you why you cannot do what you want to do.”

7) “The poor, the unsuccessful, the unhappy, the unhealthy are the ones who use the word tomorrow the most.”

8) ”Money is kind of a base subject.  Like water, food, air, and housing, it affects everything, yet for some reason the world of academics thinks it’s a subject below their social standing.”

9) “Inside of every problem lies an opportunity.”

10) “Today is the word for winners, and tomorrow is the word for losers.”
