| My father
said: ''You must never try to make all the money that's in a deal. Let the
other fellow make some money too, because if you have a reputation for
always making all the money, you won't have many deals.'' J. Paul Getty The object of living is work, experience,
and happiness. There is joy in work. All that money can do is buy us someone
else's work in exchange for our own. There is no happiness except in the
realization that we have accomplished something. It's an extremely good thing that money
sometimes changes hands. America is just a nation of two hundred
million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no
qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us
uncomfortable. Read Bets and Gambling Quotations
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. 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. 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! 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. He that is of the opinion money will do
everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money. If you would be wealthy, think of saving
as well as getting. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is
that? Nobody. Riches may enable us to confer favours,
but to confer them with propriety and grace requires a something that riches
cannot give. Annual income twenty pounds, annual
expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds,
annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery. If all the rich people in the world
divided up their money among themselves there wouldn't be enough to go
around. Endless money forms the sinews of war. Money was never a big motivation for me,
except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game. If you want to know what God thinks of
money, just look at the people he gave it to. Money is the sinew of love as well as war.
I'm living so far beyond my income that we
may almost be said to be living apart. The only way not to think about money is
to have a great deal of it. Save a little money each month and at the
end of the year you'll be surprised at how little you have. My problem lies in reconciling my gross
habits with my net income. The mint makes it first, it is up to you
to make it last. The rich are the scum of the earth in
every country. Lack of money is the root of all evil. One must be poor to know the luxury of
giving. Money frees you from doing things you
dislike. Since I dislike doing nearly everything, money is handy. The chief value of money lies in the fact
that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated. Make money your god and it will plague you
like the devil. Make money, money by fair means if you
can, if not, but any means money. If you can count your money, you don't
have a billion dollars. I have enough money to last me the rest of
my life, unless I buy something. A large income is the best recipe for
happiness I ever heard of. Nothing amuses me more than the easy
manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great
deal less than themselves. A wise man should have money in his head,
but not in his heart. Do not be fooled into believing that
because a man is rich he is necessarily smart. There is ample proof to the
contrary. Read Bets and Gambling Quotations Be rich to yourself and poor to your
friends. It is not easy for men to rise whose
qualities are thwarted by poverty. The easiest way for your children to learn
about money is for you not to have any. Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of an
idea is an obstacle. It is pretty hard to tell what does bring
happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed. The safest way to double your money is to
fold it over and put it in your pocket. He had learned over the years that poor
people did not feel so poor when allowed to give occasionally. Money can't buy happiness, but neither can
poverty. It is the wretchedness of being rich that
you have to live with rich people. You don't have to die in order to make a
living. Riches cover a multitude of woes. No matter how rich you become, how famous
or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much
depend on the weather. The more you chase money, the harder it is
to catch it. It is better to have a permanent income
than to be fascinating. Wealth is the parent of luxury and
indolence, and poverty of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent.
Money alone sets all the world in motion.
Money is the opposite of the weather.
Nobody talks about it, but everybody does something about it. 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.
Finance is the art of passing money from
hand to hand until it finally disappears. It has been said that the love of money is
the root of all evil. The want of money is so quite as truly. Money's the same, whoever gives it to you.
That was the point of money, after all: crisp and clean or wrinkled or
disintegrated into quarters - a dollar was always worth a hundred cents. A billion here, a billion there, pretty
soon it adds up to real money. The art of living easily as to money is to
pitch your scale of living one degree below your means. A little wanton money, which burned out
the bottom of his purse. Money: There's nothing in the world so
demoralizing as money. Money can't buy friends, but it can get
you a better class of enemy. I choose the likely man in preference to
the rich man; I want a man without money rather than money without a man.
Never spend your money before you have it.
He had heard people speak contemptuously
of money: he wondered if they had ever tried to do without it. Money is like a sixth sense without which
you cannot make a complete use of the other five. Read Bets and Gambling Quotations 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. Be you in what line of life you may, it
will be amongst your misfortunes if you have not time properly to attend to
pecuniary [monetary] matters. Want of attention to these matters has impeded
the progress of science and of genius itself. No one can earn a million dollars honestly.
Money is better than poverty, if only for
financial reasons.
