Best Quotes about Money

The Lord commonly gives riches to foolish people, to whom he gives nothing else.

Luther, Martin

The love of money grows as the money itself grows.

Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

Money is like fire, an element as little troubled by moralizing as earth, air and water. Men can employ it as a tool or they can dance around it as if it were the incarnation of a god.

It acquires its meaning from the uses to which it is put.
