Money
Quotes - Money is like manure
“Without
desires and dreams, your thoughts do not matter and you can think whatever you
want to.”
―
Stephen Richards, Think Your way to Success: Let Your Dreams Run Free
“Money
is like a child—rarely unaccompanied. When it disappears, look to those who
were supposed to be keeping an eye on it while you were at the grocery store.
You might also look for someone who has a lot of extra children sitting around,
with long, suspicious explanations for how they got there.”

Lemony Snicket
“Money
is like manure; it's not worth a thing unless it's spread around encouraging
young things to grow.”
―
Thornton Wilder, The Matchmaker
“Planning
is for the world's great cities, for Paris, London, and Rome, for cities
dedicated, at some level, to culture. Detroit, on the other hand, was an
American city and therefore dedicated to money, and so design had given way to
expediency.”

Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex
“Our
entire system, in an economic sense, is based on restriction. Scarcity and
inefficiency are the movers of money; the more there is of any resource the
less you can charge for it. The more problems there are, the more opportunities
there are to make money.
This
reality is a social disease, for people can actually gain off the misery of
others and the destruction of the environment. Efficiency, abundance and
sustainability are enemies of our economic structure, for they are inverse to
the mechanics required to perpetuate consumption.
This
is profoundly critical to understand, for once you put this together you begin
to see that the one billion people currently starving on this planet, the
endless slums of the poor and all the horrors of a culture due to poverty and
pravity are not natural phenomenon due to some natural human order or lack of
earthly resources. They are products of the creation, perpetuation and
preservation of artificial scarcity and inefficiency.”

“The
ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never
coincide.”
―
P.G. Wodehouse, Love Among the Chickens
“Lack
of money is the root of all evil.”
―
George Bernard Shaw
“Money
isn't the solution to your problems. It only lets you carry your unhappiness
around in style.”
―
Shannon L. Alder
“No
one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or
he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God
and Money.”
―
Anonymous, The Holy Bible: King James Version
“A
good self-esteem level is mostly dependant on how we value ourselves without
any bias.”
―
Stephen Richards, Boost Your Self Esteem
“Knowledge
is like money: To be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can
increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.”
―
Louis L'Amour, Education of a Wandering Man: A Memoir
“Being
wealthy isn't just a question of having lots of money. It's a question of what
we want. Wealth isn't an absolute, it's relative to desire. Every time we seek
something that we can't afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we
may actually have.”
―
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“A
person today who seems to have a great sense of self-esteem has his or her
childhood days to thank for it.”
―
Stephen Richards, Boost Your Self Esteem
“Money
is the root of all evil.' Then we hear, 'A fool and his money are soon parted.'
What are they talking about? If money is so evil, shouldn't it be, 'A wise man
and his money are soon parted'? And another thing, how does a fool get money in
the first place? I know some fools who have a lot of money, but they won't tell
me how they got it, and I won't tell them.”
―
George Burns, Doctor Burns' Prescription for Happiness
“Well,
I guess in all honesty I would have to say that I never knew nor did I ever
hear of anybody that money didnt change.”
―
Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men
“When
the Stranger says: “What is the meaning of this city ?
Do
you huddle close together because you love each other?”
What
will you answer? “We all dwell together
To
make money from each other”? or “This is a community”?
Oh
my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger.
Be
prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.”
―
T.S. Eliot, The Rock
“Once
we open our eyes to the infinite magic that the universe has in abundance, we
are sure to be enthralled by what we see and this miraculous creation gets us
closer to our dreams and to the world as a whole.”

Stephen Richards, Think Your way to Success: Let Your Dreams Run Free
“They
have money and position and Ann has none.It's amazing how often you can be
right as long as you have those two things working in your favor.”
―
Libba Bray, A Great and Terrible Beauty
“We
had everything: love, attention, the best money could buy, but we were taught
that we had to first give to then receive.”
