Nearly 10 years ago, CNN offered an article titled The smartest advice I ever got, From Bill Miller to Derek Jeter: 40 great minds share the best money lessons they ever learned. It made an impression on me, both for the range of people that were quoted, but also, for the fact that each quote came with its own personal narrative from the person interviewed. I offer the headlines here, just the quotes, and invite you to visit CNN to read the full narrative.
