Best Quotes about Money

The only way not to think about money is to have a great deal of it.

Edith Wharton

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.
