The only excuse for being broke is being in Jail.
No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned... a man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company.
I've never been poor, only broke. Being poor is a frame of mind. Being broke is only a temporary situation.

Learn all you can, don't be lazy. Nothing's worse than being stupid. Being broke is bad, but being stupid is what's really bad. And what's really really bad is being broke and stupid. Nothing's much worse than that. Unless you're sick. Sick, broke and stupid, that’s about as far as you can fall unless you're ugly. Surely that would be the ultimate; ugly, sick, broke and stupid.

I think, a lot of times, the mistake in music - even rappers that are trying to be big time - if you're broke, rap about being broke. If you're sensitive, rap about being sensitive, 'cause there are other sensitive people. If you're sensitive, but you talk about being a tough person that doesn't care about anything, people will call your bluff.
Aloneness is a state of being, whereas loneliness is a state of feeling. It's like the difference between being broke and being poor.
Being in jail is difficult too because it's like being in a graveyard, you can't do much.
Being broke is not a disgrace, it is only a catastrophe.
Being a teacher is like being in jail; once it's on your record, you can never get rid of it.
It doesn't matter how big of a company you have: I always tell people that you are one job away from being broke. And if you don't live that way, you'll be broke.
