Best Quotes about Money

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

Cicero, Marcus T.

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

France, Anatole

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

The lack of money is the root of all evils.

Twain, Mark

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

If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.

Graham, Billy

The covetous man never has money. The prodigal will have none shortly.

Johnson, Ben

The day, water, sun, moon, night -- I do not have to purchase these things with money.

Plautus, Titus Maccius

Money is always there but the pockets change.

Stein, Gertrude

10.

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

11.

A person's treatment of money is the most decisive test of his character, how they make it and how they spend it.

Moffatt, James

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

Proverb, Jewish

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

The Lord commonly gives riches to foolish people, to whom he gives nothing else.

Luther, Martin

19.

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

22.

you must get money to chase you, but never let it catch up.

Waitley, Denis

23.

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

24.

It is true that money cannot buy happiness but it does make it possible for you to enjoy the best that the world has to offer.

Clason, George S.

25.

However toplofty and idealistic a man may be, he can always rationalize his right to earn money.

Chandler, Raymond

Collier, Robert

31.

Money is good, love is wealth.

Horton, Doug

32.

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

33.

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

Ford, Henry

34.

The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money.

Carson, Johnny

Ibsen, Henrik
