- When money talks, nobody notices what grammar it uses.

- The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.
- Henry Ford (1863 - 1947)
- Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there.
- Will Smith
- When you don't have any money, the problem is food. When you have money, it's sex. When you have both, it's health. If everything is simply jake, then you're frightened of death.
- J. P. Donleavy
- History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.
- Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Time Enough for Love (1972)
- We take care of our health, we lay up money, we make our roof tight and our clothing sufficient, but who provides wisely that he shall not be wanting the best property of all -- friends?
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

- The Baptists believe in The Right to Life before you're born. They also believe in Life After Death, but that is a privilege and you have to earn it by spending the interim in guilt-ridden misery. At an early age I decided that living a life of pious misery in the hope of going to heaven when it's over is a lot like keeping your eyes shut all through a movie in the hope of getting your money back at the end.
- A. Whitney Brown, "The Big Picture"
- I never write Metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city. I never write policeman because I can get the same money for cop.
- Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)
- 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 are 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 clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
- Dwight David Eisenhower, 1953
