Motivational Quotes

Money

Get to know two things about a man. How he earns his money and how he spends it. You will then have the clue to his character. You will have a searchlight that shows up the inmost recesses of his soul. You know all you need to know about his standards, his motives, his driving desires, his real religion.

- Mccracken, Robert J.

Best Quotes about Money

Riches may enable us to confer favours, but to confer them with propriety and grace requires a something that riches cannot give.

Charles Caleb Colton

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

Money does not change men, it only unmasks them.

Riccoboni, Mme.

Ready money is Aladdin's lamp.

Byron, Lord

It is not easy for men to rise whose qualities are thwarted by poverty.

Juvenal

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

Quant, Mary

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.

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

Katharine Whitehorn

10.

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

11.

A billion here, a billion there, and soon you're talking about real money.

Dirksen, Everett M.

12.

I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.

Lennon, John

13.

Americans want action for their money. They are fascinated by its self-reproducing qualities if it's put to work. Gold-hoarding goes against the American grain; it fits in better with European pessimism than with America's traditional optimism.

Nelson, Paula

14.

I've got all the money I'll ever need, if I die by four o clock.

Youngman, Henny

15.

Money is the representative of a certain quantity of corn or other commodity. It is so much warmth, so much bread.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

16.

The use of money is all the advantage there is in having money.

Franklin, Benjamin

17.

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

Jane Austen

18.

Money is like an arm or leg -- use it or lose it.

Ford, Henry

19.

The evidence unmistakably indicates that you have to spend money in order to make money.

Blotnick, Srully

20.

I know at last what distinguishes man from animals; financial worries.

Rolland, Romain

21.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do to more for the betterment of life.

Ford, Henry

22.

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

23.

The only way not to think about money is to have a great deal of it.

Edith Wharton

24.

Almost any man knows how to earn money, but not one in a million knows how to spend it.

Thoreau, Henry David

25.

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.

Benjamin Franklin

26.

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

27.

I have imbibed such a love for money that I keep some sequins in a drawer to count, and cry over them once a week.

Byron, Lord

28.

Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not faithfulness; days of joy, but not peace and happiness.

Ibsen, Henrik

29.

All riches have their origin in mind. Wealth is in ideas -- not money.

Collier, Robert

30.

The mint makes it first, it is up to you to make it last.

Evan Esar

31.

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

32.

The art of living easily as to money is to pitch your scale of living one degree below your means.

Sir Henry Taylor

33.

I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living, that's the real test.

Fulghum, Robert

34.

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

Themistocles

35.

Many of the things you can count, don't count. Many of the things you can't count, really count.

Einstein, Albert

36.

Don't be too busy earning a living to make any money.

Karbo, Joe

37.

Money is flat and meant to be piled up.

Proverb, Scottish

38.

Nowadays nothing but money counts: a fortune brings honors, friendships, the poor man everywhere lies low.

Ovid

39.

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

Ney, Richard

40.

I've got a living to make, to put it plainly; there's more money in shocking and terrifying than in edifying.

Bodie, Walford

41.

The more you learn to live without, the more you'll have to live with.

Clark, Frank A.

42.

Many good qualities are not sufficient to balance a single want -- the want of money.

Zimmermann, Johann Georg

43.

The darkest day of any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money without earning it.

Greeley, Horace

44.

Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy.

Groucho Marx

45.

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

Horace

46.

It is only the poor who pay cash, and that not from virtue, but because they are refused credit.

France, Anatole

47.

The price we have to pay for money is sometimes liberty.

Stevenson, Robert Louis

48.

There's no reason to be the richest man in the cemetery. You can't do any business from there.

Sanders, Col. Harland

49.

You never suffer from a money problem, you always suffer from an idea problem.

Schuller, Robert H.

50.

If you have money, men think you are wise, handsome, and able to sing like a bird.

Proverb, Jewish
