I’m bout this shmoney!

I’m so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and I realized I didn’t understand, she had to explain: ‘That’s like three Mercedes.’ Then I understood.

Steve Jobs didn’t give a shit about money, and I do give a shit about money. I wanted to have a lot of money. I thought it would change my life, which it did, but not in the ways I expected.

Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.

I’ve been poor and I’ve been rich and rich is better.

Money is the opposite of the weather. Nobody talks about it, but everybody does something about it.

Money is indeed the most important thing in the world.

Money is like a sixth sense – and you can’t make use of the other five without it.

Money, it turned out, was exactly like sex, you thought of nothing else if you didn’t have it and thought of other things if you did.

Money is like manure, of very little use except it be spread.

Money without brains is always dangerous.

People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.

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.

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.

They usually have two tellers in my local bank, except when it’s very busy, when they have one.
