The psychology of money.
Money isn't everything: usually it isn't enough.
Anon
Americans respect people who earn money. Earning proves you have certain qualities. In France as in Italy and Britain, people who have money are better regarded than those who earn it.
Jacques Maisonrouge
Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy. And with his death as his greatest source of anxiety.
John Kenneth Galbraith
The value of a dollar is social, as it is created by society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We Americans worship the mighty dollar! Well, it is a worthier god than Hereditary Privilege.
Mark Twain
Money is as much a reality as the Blessed Trinity.
Monsignor Ralph Brown
Money never remains just coins and pieces of paper. It is constantly changing into the comforts of daily life. Money can be translated into the beauty of living, a support in misfortune, an education, or future security. It can also be translated into a source of bitterness.
Sylvia Porter
Money is like an arm or leg - use it or lose it.
Henry Ford
Poverty is no disgrace to a man, but it is confoundedly inconvenient.
Sydney Smith
The American talks about money because that is the symbol and measure he has at hand for success, intelligence, and power; but, as to money itself, he makes, loses, spends, and gives it away with a very light heart.
George Santayana
The very rich.
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Someone who's obsessed with making money to the exclusion of other goals in life has likely forgone the possibility of the acceptance of God's kingdom.
Jimmy Carter
Keep company with the very rich and you 'II end up picking up the check.
Stanley Walker
I would not say any millionaires were mean. They simply have a healthy respect for money. I've noticed that people who don't respect money don't have any.
Paul Getty
Once you are past your first million pounds it doesn 't make much difference. We're amused by it, it just seems slightly ridiculous.
Richard Branson
Time is money - says the vulgarest saw known to any age or people. Turn it round about and you get a precious truth -money is time.
George Gissing
Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think.
Ayn Rand
If you want to know what the Lord God thinks of money, you have only to look at those to whom he gives it.
Maurice Baring
Young people, socialisation and money.
The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.
Katharine Whitehorn
One of the hardest things to teach our children about money matters is that it does.
Anon
When I was young I used to think that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old, I know it is.
Oscar Wilde
My father told me that if humanly possible one should never lend people money, as it almost inevitably made them hate you.
Lord Rothschild
Wealth does not corrupt nor does it enable. But wealth does govern the minds of privileged children, it gives them a particular kind of identity they never lose, whether they grow up to be stockbrokers or communards, and whether they lead healthy or unstable lives.
Robert Coles
Until the age of 12 I sincerely believed that everybody had a house on Fifth Avenue, a villa in Newport and a steam-driven, ocean-going yacht.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.
What I know about money, I learned the hard way - byhaving had it.
Margaret Halsey
The safe way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket.
Frank 'Kin' Hubbard
Always live within your income, even if you have to borrow money to do so.
Josh Billings
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Ray Kroc
With monev in your pocket, you are wise, and you are handsome, and you sing well too.
Jewish proverb
