Best Quotes about Money

Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding in which you put your money in your pants pocket and give your coat to your creditors.

Adams, Joey

Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earning more money, in and of itself, rarely frees people. It's equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and create value for yourself and others.

Robbins, Anthony

Money won't make you happy... but everybody wants to find out for themselves.

Ziglar, Zig

Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of an idea is an obstacle.

Ken Hakuta

In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.

Diderot, Denis

Taking it all in all, I find it is more trouble to watch after money than to get it.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Money often costs too much.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

There is nothing so habit-forming as money.

However toplofty and idealistic a man may be, he can always rationalize his right to earn money.

Chandler, Raymond

18.

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. Money votes socialist or monarchist, finds a profit in pornography or translations from the Bible, commissions Rembrandt and underwrites the technology of Auschwitz. It acquires its meaning from the uses to which it is put.

Lapham, Lewis H.

19.

I choose the likely man in preference to the rich man; I want a man without money rather than money without a man.

My money goes to my agent, then to my accountant and from him to the tax man.

Jackson, Glenda

25.

Dollars! All their cares, hopes, joys, affections, virtues, and associations seemed to be melted down into dollars. Whatever the chance contributions that fell into the slow cauldron of their talk, they made the gruel thick and slab with dollars. Men were weighed by their dollars, measures were gauged by their dollars; life was auctioned, appraised, put up, and knocked down for its dollars. The next respectable thing to dollars was any venture having their attainment for its end. The more of that worthless ballast, honor and fair-dealing, which any man cast overboard from the ship of his Good Nature and Good Intent, the more ample stowage-room he had for dollars. Make commerce one huge lie and mighty theft. Deface the banner of the nation for an idle rag; pollute it star by star; and cut out stripe by stripe as from the arm of a degraded soldier. Do anything for dollars! What is a flag to them!

Dickens, Charles

26.

There is no fortune so strong that money cannot take it.

Cicero, Marcus T.

27.

Money will come to you when you are doing the right thing.

Phillips, Michael

28.

All my businesses are scrupulously legal. Not because I have any moral problems with crime. It just makes my life easier to obey the law. Crime is for poor people; you don't need to rob the bank if you own it.

Josh Lieb

29.

If you cannot make money on one dollar, if you do not coax one dollar to work hard for you, you won't know how to make money out of one hundred thousand dollars.

Kinnear, E. S.

31.

But for money and the need of it, there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air and it is sweet as the hawthorn; shut it up and it cankers and breeds worms.

Macdonald, George

32.

Only when the last tree has been cut down; Only when the last river has been poisoned; Only when the last fish has been caught;Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

Proverb, American Indian

Monroe, Marilyn

36.

Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.

Galbraith, John Kenneth

37.

Ann Radcliffe

46.

Part of your heritage in this society is the opportunity to become financially independent.

Rohn, Jim

48.

Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honor, generosity, and beauty as conspicuously as the want of it represents illness, weakness, disgrace, meanness, and ugliness.

Proverb, Portuguese
