Not all debt is bad. From time to time we should get into debt when there's a good reason for that.
Dan Ariely
Money is all about opportunity cost. Every time you spend on something, that's something you can't spend on something else.
Dan Ariely

Dan Ariely
In life we encounter many people who, in some way or another, try to tattoo our faces.
Dan Ariely

Dan Ariely
Honesty is a complex and tricky thing, and we don't want to be honest all the time.
Dan Ariely
It is helpful to think of people as having two fundamental motivations: the desire to see ourselves as honest, good people, and the desire to gain the benefits that come from cheating - on our taxes or on the football field.
Dan Ariely
People are willing to work free, and they are willing to work for a reasonable wage but offer them just a small payment and they will walk away.
Dan Ariely
When people are in severe pain, there's an expression, you're a pain person, and what that means is that nothing else matters.
Dan Ariely
Once we start thinking of ourselves as polluted, there is not much incentive to behave well, and the trip down the slippery slope is likely.
Dan Ariely
We need to believe that we're good people, and we'll do just about anything to maintain that perception.
Dan Ariely
We should teach the students, as well as executives, how to conduct experiments, how to examine data, and how to use these tools to make better decisions.
