Russian Proverb
Anonymous
When money talks, few are deaf.
Earl Derr Biggers
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 greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.
Benjamin Disraeli
There are many excuses for the persons who made the mistake of confounding money
and wealth. Like many others they mistook the sign for the thing signified.
Millicent Fawcett
A handful of men have become very rich by paying attention to details that most others ignored.
Henry Ford
There are only two fools in this world. One is the millionaire who thinks that by hoarding money he can somehow accumulate real power, and the other is
the penniless reformer who thinks that if only he can take the money away from one class and give it to another, all the world's ills will be cured.
Henry Ford

Seven social sins: politics without principles, wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge
without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice.

The real haves
are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others
of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities. On the other hand, the real have
nots
are they who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the
freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor.
Eric Hoffer
Few rich men own their own property. The property owns them.
Robert G. Ingersoll
Money is like manure. If you spread it around, it does a lot of good, but if you pile it up in one place, it stinks like hell.

The more good I do, the more money has come in. You have to learn to give. You're not born to give. You're born selfish.
Ted Turner
The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.
Lao Tzu
The most successful people are those who take pride in their work, pride in their family ... It is
great to attain wealth, but money is really just one way - and hardly the best way - to keep score.
Kemmons Wilson
Money sometimes makes fools of important persons, but it may also make important persons of fools.
