I have always recognized that the object of business is to make money in an honorable manner. I have endeavored to remember that the object of life is to do good.
Peter Cooper
Money and women are the most sought after and the least known about of any two things we have.
Will Rogers

There is only one thing for a man to do who is married to a woman who enjoys spending money, and that is to enjoy earning it.
Edgar Watson Howe
Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of an idea is an obstacle.
Ken Hakuta
A man's treatment of money is the most decisive test of his character - how he makes it and how he spends it.
James Moffatt
To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given the chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy. As everyone else, I love to dunk my crust in it. But alone, it is not a diet designed to keep body and soul together.
Bette Davis
What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
Bob Dylan
Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.
Margaret Fuller
Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness.
Benjamin Franklin
I have no complex about wealth. I have worked hard for my money, producing things people need. I believe that the able industrial leader who creates wealth and employment is more worthy of historical notice than politicians or soldiers.
J. Paul Getty
Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness.
Henrik Ibsen
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.
George Horace Lorimer
Money is plentiful for those who understand the simple laws which govern its acquisition.
George Clason
Entrusting the government or an employer, other than yourself, with your retirement income is like hiring a compulsive gambler as your accountant.
Denis Waitley
Truth is, money doesn’t make you happy or a nice person, it just means you have the means to live the life you want. What kind of life is up to you, and that’s where some people crash and burn. They get money but they don’t have a clue about being a good person so they just make themselves and everyone around them miserable.
Phil Town
We must teach our children not to spend their money a dollar at a time. If you spend your money a dollar at a time, you'll wind up with trinkets instead of treasures. You can't buy much of value a dollar at a time.
Jim Rohn
It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
Seneca
Our most valuable possessions are those which can be shared without lessening: those which, when shared, multiply. Our least valuable possessions are those which, when divided, are diminished.
William Danforth

When a man with money meets a man with experience, the man with experience leaves with money and the man with money leaves with experience.
Anonymous
Pay your taxes first, yourself second, and everyone else after that.
Larry Winget

Go to your checkbook and see what you spend money on. In an instant, you will know what is important to you because your money goes toward it.
Larry Winget
Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
You can do pretty dumb things when you've got a big checkbook.
Warren Buffett
For the most part, income is a result of one's productivity and the value that people place on that productivity.
Walter E. Williams
If money is your hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Henry Ford
Prefer loss to the wealth of dishonest gain; the former vexes you for a time; the latter will bring you lasting remorse.
Chilo
Riches do not respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.
Napoleon Hill
A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.
Jonathan Swift
A man's wealth is not in the coins he carries in his purse; it is the income he buildeth, the golden stream that continually floweth into his purse and keepeth it always bulging.
George Clason
The only people who make money work in a mint. The rest of us must 'earn' money. This is what causes those who keep looking for something for nothing or a free ride to fail in life. The only way to earn money is by providing people with services or products which are needed and useful.
Earl Nightingale
Your economic security does not lie in your job; it lies in your own power to produce - to think, to learn, to create, to adapt. That's true financial independence. It's not having wealth; it's having the power to produce wealth.
Stephen Covey

Money, to some extent, sometimes lets you be in more interesting environments. But it can't change how many people love you or how healthy you are.
Warren Buffett
A heart filled with love will do more for you than a wallet filled with cash.
Steve Pavlina
Money is multiplied in practical value depending on the number of W's you control in your life: what you do, when you do it, where you do it, and with whom you do it.
Timothy Ferriss

"If only I had more money" is the easiest way to postpone the intense self-examination and decision-making necessary to create a life of enjoyment - now and not later.
Timothy Ferriss

The luxury I advocate has nothing to do with money. It cannot be bought. It is the reward of those who have no fear of discomfort.
Jean Cocteau
You should always love people and use money, rather than the reverse.
Bob Proctor
If broke people are making fun of your financial plan, you’re on track.
Dave Ramsey
The chief duty of the National Government in connection with the currency of the country is to coin money and declare its value. Grave doubts have been entertained whether Congress is authorized by the Constitution to make any form of paper money legal tender. The present issue of United States notes has been sustained by the necessities of war; but such paper should depend for its value and currency upon its convenience in use and its prompt redemption in coin at the will of the holder, and not upon its compulsory circulation. These notes are not money, but promises to pay money. If the holders demand it, the promise should be kept.
James Garfield
If someone goes through life and measures themselves solely by how much money they have, or how much money they earned last year, sooner or later they're going to end up in trouble.
Warren Buffett
Decide on a way of life and then earn the money to finance it – don’t do it the other way around.
Fred Smith
The rule is not to talk about money with people who have much more or much less than you.
Katherine Whitehorn
If all you succeed in doing in life is getting rich by buying little pieces of paper, it's a failed life. Life is more than being shrewd in wealth accumulation.
Charlie Munger
Someone will always be getting richer faster than you. This is not a tragedy.
Charlie Munger
Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame.
Ayn Rand
Very many people spend money in ways quite different from those that their natural tastes would enjoin, merely because the respect of their neighbors depends upon their possession of a good car and their ability to give good dinners. As a matter of fact, any man who can obviously afford a car but genuinely prefers travels or a good library will in the end be much more respected than if he behaved exactly like everyone else.
Bertrand Russell
It's better to do nothing with your money than something you don't understand.
