Giving away money.
Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Acts VIII, 20, c.75
Money is of a prolific generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more.
Benjamin Franklin
Money is always there, but the pockets change.
Gertrude Stein
Gentility is what is left over from rich ancestors after the money has gone.
John Ciardi
Money and everyday life.
Saving, gambling and taxation.
If thou lend any money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou not be to him as a usurer neither shall thou lay upon him usury.
Exodus 22:25 (The Revised Standard Version is, 'If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him a creditor, and you shall not exact interest from him.')
Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.
Aristotle
Money, and not morality, is the principle of commercial nations.
Thomas Jefferson
We all know how the size of sums of money appears to vary in a remarkable way according as they are being paid in or paid out.
John Huxley
He is a great simpleton who imagines that the chief power of wealth is to supply wants. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it creates more wants than it supplies.
Anon
Money never meant anything to us. It was just sort of how we kept the score.
Nelson Bunker Hunt
Money is the only applause a businessman gets for his performance.
Larry Adler
Making money is easy and slightly boring or at any rate not satisfying.
Jim Slater
We haven't any money, so we've got to think.
Lord Rutherford
To acquire wealth is difficult, to preserve it more difficult, but to spend it wisely most difficult of all.
Edward Parsons Day
Money and the family.
Whoever said money does not buy happiness didn’t know where to shop.
Anon
Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy.
Groucho Marx
Money has no ears, but it hears.
Japanese proverb
If American men are obsessed with money, American women are obsessed with weight. The men talk of gain, the women talk of loss, and I do not know which is more boring.
Marya Marines
When I had money everyone called me brother.
Polish proverb
The rich man and his daughter are soon parted.
Frank Hubbard
Happiness is the deffered fulfillment of a prehistoric wish. That is why wealth brings so little happiness; money is not an infantile wish.
Sigmund Freud to Wilhelm Fliess, 18 January 1898.
People who have made money always want to look like people who have inherited money.
Mario Bualte
If you want to know what God thinks of money, look at the people he gives it to.
Anon
Money at work.
О money, money, how blindly thou hast been worshipped, and how stupidly abused! Thou art health and liberty, and strength; and he that has thee may rattle his pockets at the foul fiend.
Charles Lamb
Nothing links man to man like the frequent passage from hand to hand of cash.
Walter Richard Sickert
Where money talks, there are few interruptions.
Herbert V.Prochnow
Money is good for bribing yourself through the inconveniences of life.
Gottfried Reinhardt
Each dollar is a soldier that does your bidding.
Vincent Astor
It happens a little unluckily that the persons who have had the most infinite
contempt of money are the same that have the strongest appetite for the pleasures it procures.
William Shenstone
Money is a good servant but a bad master.
H.G.Bohn
When a fellow says, 'It ain't the money, but the principle of the thing', it's the money.
Elbert Hubbard
Money is certainly too dangerous an instrument to leave to the fortuitous expediency of politicians.
Prof. Friedrich Hayek
Making money doesn't oblige people to forfeit their honour or their conscience.
Baron Guy de Rothschild
