Money does not pay for anything, never has, never will. It is an economic axiom as old as the hills that goods and services can be paid for only with goods and services.
Albert Jay Nock
Money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of all modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural.
Aristotle
Money is like muck, not good except it be spread.
Francis Bacon
Riches are a good handmaid, but the worst mistress.
Francis Bacon
Those who spend too fast never grow rich.
Honor de Balzac
Money talks, and we are always listening.
Beachcomber
im throwing money up and watching they come down, come down they come down, come down
Wiz Khalifa
When you have enough money the law is a reed that will always bend your way.
Orson Scott Card
It is curious that money, which is the most valuable thing in life, exceptis excipiendis, should be the most fatal corrupter of music, literature, painting and all the arts. As soon as any art is pursued with a view to money, then farewell, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, all hope of genuine good work.
Samuel Butler
To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Among the rich you will never find a really generous man even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
As to the power which money gives, it is that of brute force, it is the power of the bludgeon and the bayonet, and of the bribed press, tongue and pen.
William Cobbett
And there's never gonna be enough money And there's never gonna be enough drugs And I'm never ever gonna get old There's never gonna be enough bullets There's never gonna be enough sex And I'm never ever gonna get old So I'm never ever gonna get high And I'm never ever gonna get low And I'm never ever gonna get old
David Robert Jones
All exchange stimulates productive activity, whether exchange by gift, gambling, barter, or money transaction.
Aaron C. Brown
Most people wander through life, carelessly taking whatever risk crosses their paths without compensation, but never consciously accepting extra risk to pick up the money and other good things lying all around them.
Aaron C. Brown
