Paycheck Quotes

This is at the core of innovation. It requires aligning the dreams of each individual to the broader dream of the organization.

Your profession is not what brings home your weekly paycheck, your profession is what you're put here on earth to do, with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling.

Follow the dreams of others and you will receive a paycheck. Follow your own dreams and you will never check your pay.

The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them – for a paycheck.

So as long as money continues to seduce the hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, and the needy, there will always be war between people.
