Behn, Aphra

14.

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.

15.

It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

Bird, Larry

24.

There is some magic in wealth, which can thus make persons pay their court to it, when it does not even benefit themselves. How strange it is, that a fool or knave, with riches, should be treated with more respect by the world, than a good man, or a wise man in poverty!

Ann Radcliffe

25.

All things are sold: the very light of heaven is venal; earth's unsparing gifts of love, the smallest and most despicable things that lurk in the abysses of the deep, all objects of our life, even life itself, and the poor pittance which the laws allow of liberty, the fellowship of man, those duties which his heart of human love should urge him to perform instinctively, are bought and sold as in a public mart of not disguising selfishness, that sets on each its price, the stamp-mark of her reign.

Shelley, Percy Bysshe

28.

Money alone sets all the world in motion.

Publilius Syrus

29.

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

30.

Making a million dollars is the simplest thing in the world. Just find a product that sells for $2000 and that you can buy at a cost of $1000, and sell a thousand of them.

Gillies, Jerry

31.

The money complex is the demonic, and the demonic is God's ape; the money complex is therefore the heir to and substitute for the religious complex, an attempt to find God in things.

Brown, Norman O.

32.

The world is his who has money to go over it.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.

God shows his contempt for wealth by the kind of person he selects to receive it.

O'Malley, Austin

34.

After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting.

Livermore, Jesse

35.

Having money is rather like being a blond. It is more fun but not vital.

Quant, Mary

36.

Money is like manure. If you spread it around it does a lot of good. But if you pile it up in one place it stinks like hell.

Murchison, Jr., Clint

37.

Our income are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us; but if too large, they cause us to stumble and trip.

Colton, Charles Caleb

38.

I'm not into the money thing. You can only sleep in one bed at a time. You can only eat one meal at a time, or be in one car at a time. So I don't have to have millions of dollars to be happy. All I need are clothes on my back, a decent meal, and a little loving when I feel like it. That's the bottom line.

Charles, Ray

Money is good, love is wealth.

Horton, Doug

43.

Americans want action for their money. They are fascinated by its self-reproducing qualities if it's put to work. Gold-hoarding goes against the American grain; it fits in better with European pessimism than with America's traditional optimism.

Nelson, Paula

44.

Yes! Ready money is Aladdin's lamp.

Byron, Lord

45.

If you want to know what God thinks of money, look at the people he gives it to.

Proverb, Yiddish

46.

But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
