Willem de Kooning

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

The best thing I know about me, is that I’m rich

All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.

Whoever thinks that money can’t buy happiness . . . just doesn’t know where to shop!

I’ve earned all this money. I’ve worked for it. I didn’t cheat anybody. I didn’t issue junk bonds and put people out of work. I earned it. And I live relatively modestly given my level of success and wealth.

Budget: a mathematical confirmation of your suspicions.

Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.

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

Scientists have odious manners, except when you prop up their theory; then you can borrow money of them.

[on money] It cannot buy you happiness. Some independence, yes.

You can’t tell a millionaire’s son from a billionaire’s.

Use your money to buy privacy because during most of your life you aren’t allowed to be normal.

I rob banks because that’s where the money is.

What is the robbing of a bank compared to the FOUNDING of a bank?

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