Motivational Quotes

Money

Perhaps the most important use of money - It saves time. Life is so short, and there's so much to do, one can't afford to waste a minute; and just think how much you waste, for instance, in walking from place to place instead of going by bus and in going by bus instead of by taxi.

- W. Somerset Maugham

It acquires its meaning from the uses to which it is put.

Lapham, Lewis H.
