Best Quotes about Money

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

Schuller, Robert H.

Riches cover a multitude of woes.

Menander

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

After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.

Onassis, Aristotle

It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

Latimer, George Horace

When I was young I used to think that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old, I know it is.

Wilde, Oscar

Money does not change men, it only unmasks them.

Riccoboni, Mme.

Ready money is Aladdin's lamp.

Byron, Lord

11.

Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.

Austen, Jane

12.

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

13.

Take a dollar from a thousand and it will be a thousand no more.

Goldsmith, Oliver

14.

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

15.

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.

16.

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

Swift, Jonathan

17.

The money men make lives after them.

Butler, Samuel

18.

Whether he admits it or not, a man has been brought up to look at money as a sign of his virility, a symbol of his power, a bigger phallic symbol than a Porsche.

Billings, Victoria

19.

Money alone sets all the world in motion.

Publilius Syrus

20.

Money is the sinews of love, as of war.

Farquhar, George

21.

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

Lennon, John

22.

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

Sanders, Col. Harland

23.

The love of money grows as the money itself grows.

Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

24.

When someone says it ain't the money, but its the principal of the thing, it's the money.

Hubbard, Elbert

25.

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

Chandler, Raymond

26.

If you cannot make money on one dollar, if you do not coax one dollar to work hard for you, you won't know how to make money out of one hundred thousand dollars.

Kinnear, E. S.

27.

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

28.

The basic principle of turning ideas into big money is to seize every money building idea and work with it until the idea fits your purpose, decide on the steps needed to make it work, and then proceed to do it as soon as possible.

Newcomb, Duane

29.

Money can't buy poverty.

Feldman, Marty

30.

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

Carson, Johnny

31.

It has been said that the love of money is the root of all evil. The want of money is so quite as truly.

Samuel Butler

32.

The best way to make happy money is to make money your hobby and not your god.

Alexander, Scott

33.

After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting.

Livermore, Jesse

34.

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

Collier, Robert

35.

Someday I want to be rich. Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.

Rita Rudner

36.

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

37.

If you are poor, though you dwell in the busy marketplace, no one will inquire about you; if you are rich, though you dwell in the heart of the mountains, you will have distant relatives.

Proverb, Chinese

38.

Taking it all in all, I find it is more trouble to watch after money than to get it.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

39.

My money goes to my agent, then to my accountant and from him to the tax man.

Jackson, Glenda

40.

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
