Holy Bible
I find the difference, for me, between having no money and having quite a bit
is that the bills get bigger. And that's it. The lifestyle doesn't change.

Russian Proverb

My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress.
Op-ed from the New York Times on Monday, August 15, 2011.
Warren Buffett
The true investor welcomes volatility ... a wildly fluctuating market means that
irrationally low prices will periodically be attached to solid businesses.
Warren Buffett
The truly big investment idea can usually be explained in a short paragraph. We like a business with enduring competitive advantages that is run
by able and owner-oriented people. When these attributes exist, and when we can make purchases at sensible prices, it is hard to go wrong.
Warren Buffett
Wall Street is the only place people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from people who take the subway.
Warren Buffett
Your goal as an investor ... to purchase, at a rational price, a part interest in an easily-understandable
business whose earnings are virtually certain to be materially higher ... years from now. Over time, you will find
only a few companies that meet these standards - so when you see one ... buy a meaningful amount of stock.
Warren Buffett
It has been said that the love of money is the root of all evil. The want of money is so quite as truly.
Samuel Butler (Author)
Money is dead men's bones and dead men's souls. The money that men make lives after them.
Samuel Butler (Author)
Men who continue hoarding great sums all their lives, the proper use of which for the public ends would work good to
the community, should be made to feel that the community, in the form of the state, cannot thus be deprived of its proper
share. By taxing estates heavily at death the state marks its condemnation of the selfish millionaire's unworthy life.
Andrew Carnegie
The man who dies rich dies disgraced.
Andrew Carnegie
It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of
money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.
George Washington Carver

Winston Churchill
The sinews of war: unlimited money.
Cicero
Too many companies, especially large ones, are driven more and more narrowly by the need to ensure that investors get good
quarterly returns and to justify executives' high salaries. Too often, this means that they view most employees as costs.

What is a man if he is not a thief who openly charges as much as he can for the goods he sells.
Mahatma Gandhi
Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.... And when you realize the entire system is very
easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.
James Garfield

Except for the con men borrowing money they shouldn't get and the widows who have to visit with
the handsome young men in the trust department, no sane person ever enjoyed visiting a bank.

Spike Milligan
Death and taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them.

Restaurants have this in common with ladies: the best are often not the most enjoyable, nor the grandest the
most friendly, and the pleasures of the evening are frequently spoiled by the writing of an exorbitant cheque.

Narayana Murthy
You don't need to interpret the tea leaves stuck in a cup to understand that
people who work sitting down get paid more than those people who work standing up.

Behind all its global responsibilities and impersonal style banking is still a people business
... it may
be the most personal business of all for it always depends on the original concept of credit, meaning trust.
Anthony Sampson
Profits are the lifeblood of the economic system, the magic elixir upon which progress and
all good things depend ultimately. But one man's lifeblood is another man's cancer.
