I am happy and proud to play for my country and my club Mohun Bagan.

I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.

The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.

I love being a part of the country-music community.

I’ve got all the money I’ll ever need, if I die by four o’clock.

There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain.

In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

Everything the working class has been told to do, the rich do not do. That is my message.

Money has a language of its own.

To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

The American people are bigger than any president. I suppose I have faith in my country and in what it is founded on and the values we hold dear.

It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth.

I always was a rich person because money’s not related to happiness.

In a country with millions of people and cars going everywhere, the enemy is going to get a car bomb out there once in awhile.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.

It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.

We can all be successful and make money, but when we die, that ends. But when you are significant is when you help other people be successful. That lasts many a lifetime.

It’s honestly true that money means nothing to me.

So when these people sell out, even though they get fabulously rich, they’re gypping themselves out of one of the potentially most rewarding experiences of their unfolding lives. Without it, they may never know their values or how to keep their newfound wealth in perspective.

In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, ‚why don’t I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,‘ and they abandon their values.

You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.

I aspire my country eventually has a league where all players play 50 games.

Every country must be absolutely free to adopt the type of economic, political and social system that it considers convenient.

The purpose is clear. It is safety with solvency. The country is entitled to both.

Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.

Teach us that wealth is not elegance, that profusion is not magnificence, that splendor is not beauty.

People say ‚I want to be rich‘. The question is, ‚Are you willing to do what it takes?‘

Switzerland is a country where very few things begin, but many things end.

I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.

Getting rich is about fun. It’s a game, and you have to treat it that way.

That man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest.

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things that we could use.

I grew up as this very carefree, happy kid then things turned darker for me. Maybe it was because I saw that the world wasn’t as happy a place as I had hoped it would be for me.

I have plenty of money, unlike other Hollywood celebrities or athletes that have not invested well.

Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

For people who live in the suburbs and must commute long distances to work, their wealth will sink as energy prices rise.

But just as they did in Philadelphia when they were writing the constitution, sooner or later, you’ve got to compromise. You’ve got to start making the compromises that arrive at a consensus and move the country forward.
