Best Quotes about Money

Money's the same, whoever gives it to you. That was the point of money, after all: crisp and clean or wrinkled or disintegrated into quarters - a dollar was always worth a hundred cents.

Scott Westerfeld

Be you in what line of life you may, it will be amongst your misfortunes if you have not time properly to attend to pecuniary [monetary] matters. Want of attention to these matters has impeded the progress of science and of genius itself.

William Cobbett

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.

A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.

Jane Austen

Plutarch

Starr, Roger

10.

If your outgo exceeds your income, then your upkeep will be your downfall.

Earle, Bill

11.

Money will buy a bed but not sleep; books but not brains; food but not appetite; finery but not beauty; a house but not a home; medicine but not health; luxuries but not culture; amusements but not happiness; religion but not salvation; a passport to everywhere but heaven.

12.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earning more money, in and of itself, rarely frees people. It's equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and create value for yourself and others.

Robbins, Anthony

13.

Having money is rather like being a blond. It is more fun but not vital.

Quant, Mary

14.

Money is like fire, an element as little troubled by moralizing as earth, air and water. Men can employ it as a tool or they can dance around it as if it were the incarnation of a god. Money votes socialist or monarchist, finds a profit in pornography or translations from the Bible, commissions Rembrandt and underwrites the technology of Auschwitz. It acquires its meaning from the uses to which it is put.

Lapham, Lewis H.

15.

A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.

Swift, Jonathan

Make money, money by fair means if you can, if not, but any means money.

Horace

17.

Money can't buy happiness, but neither can poverty.

Leo Rosten

18.

A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.

Jonathan Swift

Money: There's nothing in the world so demoralizing as money.

Sophocles

20.

I feel good about taking things to Goodwill and actually, I do like shopping at Goodwill. It's so cheap that it feels like a library where I am just checking things out for awhile until I decide to take them back.

April Foiles

21.

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

22.

Money is a singular thing. It ranks with love as man's greatest source of joy. And with death as his greatest source of anxiety. Over all history it has oppressed nearly all people in one of two ways: either it has been abundant and very unreliable, or reliable and very scarce.

Galbraith, John Kenneth

23.

Don't ever let economic alone determine your career or how you spend the majority of your time.

Waitley, Denis

Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes.

Hill, Napoleon

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

Howe, Edgar Watson

O'Malley, Austin

27.

Instead of rising rapidly in the beginning and flattening out later, the earnings curves of most those who eventually become millionaires was the reverse; their income increased slowly, if at all, for many years. And then after two to three decades, it suddenly went through the roof.

Blotnick, Srully

28.

But for money and the need of it, there would not be half the friendship in the world. It is powerful for good if divinely used. Give it plenty of air and it is sweet as the hawthorn; shut it up and it cankers and breeds worms.

Macdonald, George

29.

The poor man's budget is full of schemes.

Proverb

30.

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

31.

Once upon a time only Washington's face was on our money, now Washington's hands are on it too.

32.

When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.

Voltaire

33.

Money is usually attracted, not pursued.

Rohn, Jim

34.

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

Ney, Richard
