When I was young, I thought that money was the most important thing in the world. Now that I’m old . . . I know it is.

Money is indeed the most important thing in the world.

A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.

It’s the same old story, all you think about is money.

Too much money ain’t enough money.

finally know what distinguishes man from other beasts: financial worries.

If all the rich people in the world divided up their money among themselves, there wouldn’t be enough to go around.

The want of money is the root of all evil.

You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship. Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.

We’re not motivated to make more money. We all have too much already. We want to do good work.

Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.

I made my money the old-fashioned way. I was very nice to a wealthy relative right before he died!

I was so poor growing up, if I wasn’t a boy, I’d have had nothing to play with.

My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Fortune does not change men, it unmasks them.
