- Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in. It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.
- Peter Drucker (1909 - 2005)
- Thinking in its lower grades, is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.
- Havelock Ellis (1859 - 1939)
- The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life.
- Charles M. Schwab
- Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969), From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953
- Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlors without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
- When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.
- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893 - 1986), The Crazy Ape
- I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. . . . Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.
- Unknown, Often attributed to Abraham Lincoln
- I choose the likely man in preference to the rich man; I want a man without money rather than money without a man.
- Themistocles (527 BC - 460 BC), from Plutarch, Lives
- Money: There's nothing in the world so demoralizing as money.
- Sophocles (496 BC - 406 BC), Antigone
- Endless money forms the sinews of war.
- Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), Philippics
