Money is the sinew of love as well as war.
Dr. Thomas Fuller (1654 - 1734), Gnomologia, 1732
There is some magic in wealth, which can thus make persons pay their court to it, when it does not even benefit themselves. How strange it is, that a fool or knave, with riches, should be treated with more respect by the world, than a good man, or a wise man in poverty!
Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
Too many of us look upon Americans as dollar chasers. This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Poverty cannot deprive us of many consolations. It cannot rob us of the affection we have for each other, or degrade us in our own opinion, of in that of any person, whose opinion we ought to value.
Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
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
He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
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 (1780 - 1832), Lacon, 1825
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.
Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870), David Copperfield, 1849
If all the rich people in the world divided up their money among themselves there wouldn't be enough to go around.
Christina Stead (1903 - 1983), House of All Nations (1938) "Credo"
Endless money forms the sinews of war.
Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), Philippics
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
Donald Trump (1946 - ), "Trump: Art of the Deal"
If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.
Dorothy Parker (1893 - 1967)
