Money has never yet
made anyone rich.

Seneca
    

Money can buy you the husk of many things, but not the kernel.  It brings you
food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but
not friends; days of joy, but not peace and happiness.

Henrik Ibsen
   
Money is neither my god nor my devil.  It is a form of energy
that tends to make us more of who we already are,
whether it's greedy or loving.

Dan Millman
      

When I chased after money, I never had enough.  When I
got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and
everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.

Wayne Dyer

  
So you think that money is the root of all evil?  Have you ever asked
what is the root of money?  Money is a tool of exchange, which can't
exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.
Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal
with one another must deal by trade and give value for value.  Money
is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears or of
the looters, who take it from you by force.  Money is made possible only
by the men who produce.  Is this what you consider evil?

Ayn Rand
   

Starting out to make money is the greatest mistake in life.
Do what you feel you have a flair for doing, and if you are
good enough at it, the money will come.

Greer Garson

   

So, after "Save money and money will save you," here's my most important
dictum on dollars:  Money is worth only one thing--what you can trade it for.
And you should never--not ever--be afraid to trade it for things that
make you happy, things that can make your life fuller, richer, sweeter.

Money speaks a language everyone understands.  It's a universal provider for
most everything but happiness and a universal passport to most any place but
heaven.  Spend it accordingly:  Because you sure can't take it with you.
You've never seen a Brink's truck following a hearse.
And I'm willing to bet you never will.

Patti LaBelle

To try to extinguish the drive for riches with money is like
trying to quench a fire by pouring butterfat over it.

Hindu proverb

    

You can only become truly
accomplished at something
you love.  Don't make money
your goal.  Instead, pursue the
things you love doing, and then
do them so well that people
can't take their eyes off you.

Maya Angelou

    

Money is like any other language through which people communicate.  People
who speak the same language tend to find each other.  If you are one whose
money speaks of protection and hoarding, you will find yourself involved with
others whose money speaks the same language.  You will be staring at each
other with hooded eyes and closed fists and suspicion will be your common value.
  If your money speaks of sharing, you will find yourself among people who
want their money to speak the language of sharing,
and your world will be filled with possibility.

Kent Nerburn
    
   

Money is the last enemy that shall never be subdued.
While there is flesh there is money--or the want of money;
but money is always on the brain so long as there is a brain in reasonable order.

Samuel Butler
   

Money is like muck, not good except it be spread.

Francis Bacon
There's nothing in the world so demoralizing as money.

Sophocles

A business that makes nothing but money
is a poor kind of business.

Henry Ford

Money is good, love is wealth.

Doug Horton
   

If people get their attitude toward money straight, it will help
straighten out almost every other area of their lives.

Billy Graham
   
   
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness,
of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first
the Kingdom of God--the rest will be given.

Mother Teresa
   

Money has never made people happy, nor will it; there is nothing in its
nature to produce happiness.  The more of it one has the more one wants.

Benjamin Franklin

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it.
The only real security that a person will have in this world is
a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.

Henry Ford
     

    

It is true that money cannot buy happiness, but it does make it possible
for you to enjoy the best that the world has to offer.

George S. Clason
   

The money you make will only serve you as well as you serve others.

Duane Alan Hahn
   
   
Articles and book excerpts on money:

Money and Spirituality      Asoka Selvarajah

Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing,
but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for.
I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved,
contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace.

Louisa May Alcott
 
Money is like a beautiful thoroughbred horse--very powerful and
always in action, but unless this horse is trained when very young,
it will be an out-of-control and dangerous animal when it grows to maturity.

Dave Ramsey
  

Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way
to keep score.  The real excitement is playing the game.

Dwight D. Eisenhower
