Jaachynma N.E. Agu, The Prince and the Pauper
“There
is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich,
and that is the poor.”

Oscar Wilde
“Do
you not know that God entrusted you with that money (all above what buys
necessities for your families) to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to help
the stranger, the widow, the fatherless; and, indeed, as far as it will go, to
relieve the wants of all mankind? How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord,
by applying it to any other purpose?”

John Wesley
“Don't
you ever mind," she asked suddenly, "not being rich enough to buy all
the books you want?”

Edith Wharton, The House of Mirth
“Although
it is very easy to marry a wife, it is very difficult to support her along with
the children and the household. Accordingly, no one notices this faith of
Jacob. Indeed, many hate fertility in a wife for the sole reason that the
offspring must be supported and brought up. For this is what they commonly say:
‘Why should I marry a wife when I am a pauper and a beggar? I would rather bear
the burden of poverty alone and not load myself with misery and want.’ But this
blame is unjustly fastened on marriage and fruitfulness. Indeed, you are
indicting your unbelief by distrusting God’s goodness, and you are bringing
greater misery upon yourself by disparaging God’s blessing. For if you had
trust in God’s grace and promises, you would undoubtedly be supported. But
because you do not hope in the Lord, you will never prosper.”

Martin Luther, The Sermons Of Martin Luther
“Money
can only give happiness where there is nothing else to give it.”
―
Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
“In
regards to the price of commodities, the rise of wages operates as simple
interest does, the rise of profit operates like compound interest.
Our
merchants and masters complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising
the price and lessening the sale of goods. They say nothing concerning the bad
effects of high profits. They are silent with regard to the pernicious effects
of their own gains. They complain only of those of other people.”

Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
“Someday
I want to be rich. Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity.
That's how rich I want to be.”

Rita Rudner
“I
am wired by nature to love the same toys that the world loves. I start to fit
in. I start to love what others love. I start to call earth "home."
Before you know it, I am calling luxeries "needs" and using my money
just the way unbelievers do. I begin to forget the war. I don't think much
about people perishing. Missions and unreached people drop out of my mind. I
stop dreaming about the triumphs of grace. I sink into a secular mind-set that
looks first to what man can do, not what God can do. It is a terrible sickness.
And I thank God for those who have forced me again and again toward a wartime
mind-set.”

John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life
“In
the words of the philosopher Sceptum, the founder of my profession: am I going
to get paid for this?”

Terry Pratchett, Night Watch
“No,
not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.”
―
Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez
“Of
all the icy blasts that blow on love, a request for money is the most
chilling.”
―
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
“I
guess money can't buy happiness if you shop in the wrong places.”
―
Nora Roberts, Tribute
“All
sins are forgiven once you start making a lot of money.”
―
Rupaul
“Many
buy gadgets they don’t really need, with money they don’t have, for people they
don’t actually care for, while infringing their corporeal and financial
capacities, in order to pay doctors and psychiatrists.( "Keeping up with
the Joneses")”

Erik Pevernagie
“Doing
the tough things sets winners apart from losers.”
―
Stephen Richards, Cosmic Ordering: You can be successful
“Let
us keep enough money to enjoy each breath we take, but definitely not too much,
if we don’t want to spoil the fragrance of our dreams and the poem of life.”
―
Erik Pevernagie
“For
I consider brains far superior to money in every way. You may have noticed that
if one has money without brains, he cannot use it to his advantage; but if one
has brains without money, they will enable him to live comfortably to the end
of his days.”
― L.
Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
“Within
certain limits, it is actually true that the less money you have, the less you
worry.”
―
George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London
