J. ColeThe first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

BonoI always thought money was something just to make me happy. But I’ve learned that I feel better being able to help my folks, ‚cause we never had nothing. So just to see them excited about my career is more of a blessing than me actually having it for myself.

David ByrneNo man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.

Steve JobsMoney has a language of its own.
