Stephen Jackson Quotes

I will be Shawn Kemp regardless of whether I have money or not. The only thing money does is show who you are.

We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it.

To have what we want is riches; but to be able to do without is power.

Me, I don't need money.

It's honestly true that money means nothing to me.

It is not the greatness of a man's means that makes him independent, so much as the smallness of his wants.

Don't run after shows and money.

The money doesn't buy me, and it never will.

Money doesn't drive me.

Money to me is not a factor in my life.

Where a man can live, he can also live well.

I'm OK: I don't need money.

There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

Nature never said to me: Do not be poor; still less did she say: Be rich; her cry to me was always: Be independent.

I really live a simple life and don't need very much to feel good and happy. Don't get me wrong; I believe you should get what you earn. Sometimes you have to fight for it.

It is easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing, that's the Lord's test.

I'm not driven by the mighty dollar.

Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.

I don't need to be rich anymore; I don't need to be a millionaire.
