When I started to make more or less serious money – for those times – then, of course, I wanted to show everyone that life is different: it’s a new kind of life; we are earning this money. We wanted to pay taxes and live honestly.

The waste of money cures itself, for soon there is no more to waste.

Today, there are three kinds of people: the have’s, the have-not’s, and the have-not-paid-for-what-they-have’s.

If money be not they servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.

Philanthropic efforts are among the best rewards you can have for a life well lived.

Undermine the entire economic structure of society by leaving the pay toilet door ajar so the next person can get in free.

The want of money is the root of all evil.

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.

We didn’t actually overspend our budget. The allocation simply fell short of our expenditure.

I have never been in a situation where having money made it worse.

I have no interest in becoming a tax exile and living somewhere I don’t want to – I just want to be at home with my family.

I don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day.

A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that’s subtraction!

I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something.

You can be young without money but you can’t be old without it.
