Quotes of the Day

If our food environment contains too little protein, we will overeat until we satisfy our protein appetite. If the proportion of protein is greater than our bodies require, the protein appetite will be satisfied sooner—when fewer total calories have been eaten. This does not mean that more protein is better—far from it. Organisms from yeast cells to flies, mice, and monkeys have evolved not to overconsume protein for good reasons, mainly this one: eating too much protein switches on biological processes that hasten aging and shorten lives. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

The public has been conditioned to believe that dental cleanings are for the benefit of their teeth. The truth is that professional cleanings may reduce deposits, but they cannot stop the regrowth of acid-loving bacteria, and cleanings themselves cannot strengthen or protect your teeth. No amount of brushing, flossing, or professional cleanings can completely rid your mouth of bacteria. Unless you remove the conditions that promote harmful bacterial problems, more harmful bacteria will grow back and any cycle of damage will be repeated. [2025] - Ellie Phillips

Until you have at least $5,000 to invest, I suggest you work around dividend ETFs or dividend mutual funds to start building your portfolio. I particularly appreciate dividend mutual funds as they allow you to invest on a periodic basis with no additional cost.  [2012] - Mike Heroux

High expenses are an everyday challenge in business. Taking on that challenge is one of the most important jobs of an entrepreneur. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Take courses, volunteer, join a committee, go to exhibitions, walk someone's dog, learn to cook, take tango lessons, visit art galleries, go to pet shows, take up roller-skating, attend weddings and christenings, funerals, and other events. Get a fun part-time job, give dinner parties, start a book club, attend night school, ride a horse, take sewing lessons, study Chinese, learn spot welding. Choose a class where you participate rather than sit back and listen to a lecturer--something like cooking, wine tasting, or learning a foreign language. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman
