Best Quotes about Money

Money often costs too much.

What's the quickest way to become a millionaire? Borrow fivers off everyone you meet.

Branson, Richard

All my businesses are scrupulously legal. Not because I have any moral problems with crime. It just makes my life easier to obey the law. Crime is for poor people; you don't need to rob the bank if you own it.

Josh Lieb

11.

We might make a public moan in the newspapers about the decay of conscience, but in private conversation, no matter what crimes a man may have committed or how cynically he may have debased his talent or his friends, variations on the answer Yes, but I did it for the money, satisfy all but the most tiresome objections.

Lapham, Lewis H.

12.

Dollars! All their cares, hopes, joys, affections, virtues, and associations seemed to be melted down into dollars. Whatever the chance contributions that fell into the slow cauldron of their talk, they made the gruel thick and slab with dollars. Men were weighed by their dollars, measures were gauged by their dollars; life was auctioned, appraised, put up, and knocked down for its dollars. The next respectable thing to dollars was any venture having their attainment for its end. The more of that worthless ballast, honor and fair-dealing, which any man cast overboard from the ship of his Good Nature and Good Intent, the more ample stowage-room he had for dollars. Make commerce one huge lie and mighty theft. Deface the banner of the nation for an idle rag; pollute it star by star; and cut out stripe by stripe as from the arm of a degraded soldier. Do anything for dollars! What is a flag to them!

Dickens, Charles

13.

Comparatively few people know what a million dollars actually is. To the majority it is a gaseous concept, swelling or decreasing as the occasion suggests. In the minds of politicians, perhaps more than anywhere, the notion of a million dollars has this accordion-like ability to expand or contract; if they are disposing of it, the million is a pleasing sum, reflecting warmly upon themselves; if somebody else wants it, it becomes a figure of inordinate size, not to be compassed by the rational mind.

Davies, Robertson

14.

Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich --that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.

Fielding, Henry

15.

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.

Donald Trump

16.

There is nothing so habit-forming as money.

Marquis, Don

Money makes a good servant, but a bad master.

Bacon, Francis

Jane Austen

21.

Capital can do nothing without brains to direct it.

Armour, J. Ogden

22.

Simply by not owning three medium-sized castles in Tuscany I have saved enough money in the last forty years on insurance premiums alone to buy a medium-sized castle in Tuscany.

Rohe, Ludwig Mies Van Der

23.

The easiest way for your children to learn about money is for you not to have any.

Katharine Whitehorn

24.

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

25.

Good management is better than good income.

Proverb, Portuguese

26.

In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.

Diderot, Denis

27.

Money differs from an automobile or mistress in being equally important to those who have it and those who do not.

Galbraith, John Kenneth

28.

Wealth is the parent of luxury and indolence, and poverty of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent.

Plato

29.

If you want him to mourn, you had best leave him nothing.

Martial, Marcus Valerius

30.

Having more money does not insure happiness. People with ten million dollars are no happier than people with nine million dollars.

Brown, Hobart

31.

I choose the likely man in preference to the rich man; I want a man without money rather than money without a man.

Themistocles

32.

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

Seneca

33.

Anyone who says money can't buy happiness just doesn't know where to shop.

Bumper Sticker

34.

If all the gold in the world were melted down into a solid cube it would be about the size of an eight room house. If a man got possession of all that gold -- billions of dollars worth -- he could not buy a friend, character, peace of mind, clear conscience or a sense of eternity.

Bunning, Charles F.

35.

Getting money is like digging with a needle, spending it is like water soaking into sand.

Proverb, Japanese

36.

When asked what would he do if he found $1 million, Yogi responded, If the guy was poor, I'd give it back.

Berra, Yogi

37.

The universal regard for money is the one hopeful fact in our civilization. Money is the most important thing in the world. It represents health, strength, honor, generosity and beauty. Not the least of its virtues is that it destroys base people as certainly as it fortifies and dignifies noble people.

Shaw, George Bernard

38.

Money is the sixth sense that makes it possible to enjoy the other five.

Ney, Richard

39.

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

40.

Nobody deserves this much money -- certainly not an actor.

Lemmon, Jack

41.

He had learned over the years that poor people did not feel so poor when allowed to give occasionally.

Lawana Blackwell

42.

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

43.

A single idea -- the sudden flash of a thought -- may be worth a million dollars.

Collier, Robert

44.

You can't fatten the pig on market day.

Howard, John

Goldsmith, Oliver

47.

There is no fortune so strong that money cannot take it.

Cicero, Marcus T.

48.

If money be not they servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.

Bacon, Francis

49.

When a man says money can do anything, that settles it. He hasn't any.
