About This Quote
"Putting your money where your mouth is" is a term that describes the act of putting one's own resources, typically money, behind an idea or cause. It can also refer to an individual's willingness to put their personal wealth at risk in pursuit of a plan, person, or cause. This phrase is attributed to George Burns. Burns was asked by a reporter why he would continue to perform at a well-known Las Vegas casino despite the well-known fact that gambling was a dangerous vice for a man of his considerable wealth.
The reporter went on to say that it didn't make any sense for him to continue doing something that he knew was wrong. Burns responded by saying, “After awhile you realize that putting your actions where your mouth is makes you less likely to have to put your money where your mouth is."
