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

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.

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.
