Don King on Casting for Cash

Don King Money Quotation saying belief in your actions leads to results and doubt leads to being worse off than you started. Don King said:
 

 

“If you cast your bread upon the water and you have faith, you’ll get back cash. If you don’t have faith, you’ll get soggy bread” — Don King

 

 

This quote from Don King suggests that taking strategic risks and investing effort can lead to positive returns, but only if one has true faith and belief that their efforts will be rewarded.

The best interpretation is that King believed having confidence and trust that “casting your bread upon the water” (i.e. taking a chance) will result in “cash” coming back is essential for success.

According to King, without an inner faith that one’s actions will bear fruit, the most likely outcome is just “soggy bread” or wasted effort.

The implication seems to be that faith in one’s abilities and vision is just as important as the risks or work itself, since it provides the psychological motivation and perseverance to see initiatives through until they are rewarded, rather than giving up with nothing to show in the end but “soggy bread”.

Cicero on Faith & Credit

Cicero Money Quotation saying honest credit and trusted debt are essential in order to make debtors pay their bills for credit owed. Cicero said:
 

 

“Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another” — Cicero

 

 

Cicero is saying that trust and integrity in financial obligations are crucial for binding together all aspects of a cohesive society. The best interpretation is that when people feel they can rely on others honoring their debts and commitments through honest repayment, it creates faith and confidence that enables cooperation, trade and mutual prosperity among members of that society.

However, for such faith or credit to be maintained over the long run, there must be some compelling force or necessity ensuring that individuals actually fulfill their financial duties to one another in good faith. In other words, a well-functioning society depends on members upholding their end of economic agreements, and there needs to be real accountability for reneging on debts and obligations people owe each other.
