A man who pays his bills on time is soon forgotten

The want of money is the root of all evil.

Money’s only something you need in case you don’t die tomorrow.

Money without brains is always dangerous.

There were times my pants were so thin I could sit on a dime and tell if it was heads or tails.

If a person gets his attitude towards money straight, it will straighten out almost every other area in his life.

What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Hobbies cost money but interests are free

Acting used to be how I paid the rent, but I sold a tequila company for a billion f**king dollars. I don’t need money.

A dollar picked up in the road is more satisfaction to us than the 99 which we had to work for, and the money won at Faro or in the stock market snuggles into our hearts in the same way.

If all the economists were laid end to end, they’d never reach a conclusion.

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

Getting money is not all a man’s business: to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.

Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.

I put a dollar in one of those change machines. Nothing changed!
