Money madness.

Money and mental health.

Nothing in the world is worse than money. Money lays waste cities; it sets men to roaming from home; it seduces and corrupts honest men and turns virtue to business; it teaches villainy and impiety.

Sophocles

I have no money and therefore resolve to rail at all who have.

William Congreve

There are two fools in this world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is the penniless

reformer who thinks that if only he can take the money from one class and give it to

another, all the world's ills will be cured.

Henry Ford

An optimist is always broke.

Frank McKinney Hubbard

A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health.

Clarence Day

If a man runs after money, he's money-mad; if he keeps it he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition; if he gets it without working for it, he's a parasite and if he accumulates it after a lifetime of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life.

Vic Oliver

Some people who make a lot of money are afraid of spending it; they use it as a security blanket. I've always felt that this is not a rehearsal. Real wealth is your health and freedom and money helps you see as much of this blue and beautiful planet as you can.

Mickie Most

Possessions.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

Epicurus

In our culture we make heroes of the men who sit on top of a heap of money, and we pay attention not only to what they say in their field of competence, but to their wisdom on every other question in the world.

Max Lerner

Money is not an aphrodisiac; the desire it may kindle in the female eye is more for the cash than the carrier.

Marya Marines

A man's treatment of money is the most decisive test of his character - how he makes it and how he spends it.

James Moffatt

When you want something from a person, think first of what you can give him in return. Let him think that it's he who is coming off best. But all the time make sure it is you in the end.

Sir Ernest Oppenheimer

I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there. It's so petty.

Imelda Marcos

Keep looking tanned, live in an elegant building (even if you're in the cellar), be seen in smart restaurants (even if you nurse one drink), and if you borrow, borrow big.

Aristotle Onassis

The economic model.

How far does money produce happiness or motivate people?

Money alone can't bring you happiness, but money alone has not brought me unhappiness. I won't say my previous husbands thought only of my money, but it had a certain fascination for them.

Barbara Hutton

Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Nothing is a greater proof of a narrow and grovelling disposition than to be fond of money, while nothing is more noble and exalted than to despise it, if thou hast it not; and if thou hast it, to employ it in beneficence and liberality.

Cicero

Money is a stupid measure of achievement, but unfortunately it is the only universal measure we have.

Charles Steinmetz

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Bible: 1 Timothy

Whenever money is the principle object of life with either man or nation, it is both got ill, and spent ill; and does both harm in the getting and spending.

John Ruskin

I have a rich neighbour that is always so busy that he has no leisure to laugh; the whole business of his life is to get money, more money, that he may still get more. He considers not that it is not in the power of riches to make a man happy; for it was wisely said that 'there be as many miseries beyond riches as on this side of them'.

Izaak Walton

If you do anything for just the money you don't succeed.

Barry Hearn

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can facilitate it. I thoroughly recommend having lots of it to anybody.

Malcolm Forbes

Money brings honor, friends, conquest and realms.

John Milton
