Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.

Don’t matter how much money you got, there’s only two kinds of people: there’s saved people and there’s lost people.

We should no longer measure our wealth and success in the graph that shows economic growth, but in the curve that shows the emissions of greenhouse gases.

No man is rich enough to buy back his past.

Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions; it’s walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.

It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich.

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

Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.

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

Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.

Pride is an independent, me-oriented spirit. It makes people arrogant, rude and hard to get along with. When our heart is prideful, we don’t give God the credit and we mistreat people, looking down on them and thinking we deserve what we have.

If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.

I said I would never wear my gold again because it would be insensitive and disrespectful to all the people who died and lost everything in Katrina.

Of course, I do everything for money.

Get place and wealth, if possible with grace; if not, by any means get wealth and place.

Obama’s primary constituency was financial institutions. They were the core of the funding for his campaign. They expect to be paid back. And they were. They were paid back by coming out richer and more powerful than they were before the crisis that they created.

It is better to live rich than to die rich.

A great fortune is a great slavery.

The lack of money is the root of all evil.

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.

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.

Actually, to be an effective person politically in this country, I think you have to be thirty or over, and also you have to be rich, well-placed, you have to be close to power. And I don’t think that young people, because they look young, can do much, as I think they are counterproductive.

I hope I would not be so arrogant as to doubt anyone’s religion or belief.

We are the only real aristocracy in the world: the aristocracy of money.

But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not making poor.

The only difference between Benito and Bad Bunny is 16 million followers on Instagram. And the money that Bad Bunny has in the bank. Benito had, like, $7. The numbers are different, but I’m still the same. Even my insecurities remain the same.

If a man can… make a better mousetrap, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

I think money is a wonderful thing because it enables you to do things. It enables you to invest in ideas that don’t have a short-term payback.

You may be rich, but there is one thing you can’t afford – that is, if you are a good sort – you can’t afford to spend money on your own luxuries while there are people around you wanting the necessaries of life.

You lose your individuality a huge amount when you have no money, and I certainly had that experience.

It would astonish if not amuse the older citizens to learn that I (a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working at ten dollars per month) have been put down as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.

The use of money is all the advantage there is in having it.

There is a soak-the-rich attitude in the air, a feeling that if you have a lot of money you must have got it by some ghastly means. I can quite happily say there was never any family money. All the money we got was mine, just from writing books.

You make more money if you’re generous.

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.
