“I
will tell you one thing that will make you rich for life. There are two
struggles: an Inner-world struggle and an Outer-world struggle...you must make
an intentional contact between these two worlds; then you can crystallize data
for the Third World, the World of the Soul.”

“In
the turbulent art arena they all pitch in and do their dubious and mercantile
part in the rocambolesque saga of the art since so many judge art with their
ears and the sound of the money. (“When is art?”)”

you have enough power and money, you can dictate the meanings of words.”

Maureen Johnson, Truly, Devious
“For
money you can have everything it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy
food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep;
knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not
pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness;
grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things
you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money.”

Arne Garborg
“He
thinks we're made of money.”

Kristin Cashore, Fire
“Money

“Alcohol
ruined me financially and morally, broke my heart and the hearts of too many
others. Even though it did this to me and it almost killed me and I haven't
touched a drop of it in seventeen years, sometimes I wonder if I could get away
with drinking some now. I totally subscribe to the notion that alcoholism is a
mental illness because thinking like that is clearly insane.”

“You're
broke, eh?"
I
been shaking two nickels together for a month, trying to get them to mate.”

Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
“Not
all dreamers are winners, but all winners are dreamers. Your dream is the key
to your future. The Bible says that, "without a vision (dream), a people
perish." You need a dream, if you're going to succeed in anything you do.”

“The
most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil
acts, but those who do the acts for them. For example, when the British invaded
India, many Indians accepted to work for the British to kill off Indians who
resisted their occupation. So in other words, many Indians were hired to kill
other Indians on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries
in Africa, corporate armies from the western world, and unemployed men
throughout the Middle East killing their own people - and people of other
nations - for a paycheck. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck,
makes anyone a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn't
entice people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the
hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, and the needy, there will always
be war between brothers.”

“If
you are going to be in business, you must learn about money: how it works, how
it flows, and how to put it to work for you.”

Ability
“All
wars are sacred,” he said. “To those who have to fight them. If the people who
started wars didn’t make them sacred, who would be foolish enough to fight?
But, no matter what rallying cries the orators give to the idiots who fight, no
matter what noble purposes they assign to wars, there is never but one reason
for a war. And that is money. All wars are in reality money squabbles. But so
few people ever realize it. Their ears are too full of bugles and drums and the
fine words from stay-at-home orators. Sometimes the rallying cry is ’save the
Tomb of Christ from the Heathen!’ Sometimes it’s ’down with Popery!’ and
sometimes ‘Liberty!’ and sometimes ‘Cotton, Slavery and States’ Rights!”
