The sinews of war are infinite money.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples‘ money.

In today’s world, having money has allowed people who are extremely uncool to think that they’re cool and carry it like that. People who really are cool and people who really are artists and have ideas have to literally turn in their cool card to society just to make it past the age of 28.

Of course, to have money is just great because you can do what you think is important to you.

I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.

You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.

I can remember when I first went into the Himalayan area way back in 1951. Money, for instance, was not important at all to the local people. But now, finance has become just as important to them as it is to us, and this is a change maybe not for the better.

I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.

‚Credit‘ is another word for trustworthiness.

If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!

War is a contagion.

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money.

A faction willing to take the risks of making war on the ossified status quo in the Middle East can be described as many things, but not as conservative.

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

Percentage margins don’t matter. What matters always is dollar margins: the actual dollar amount. Companies are valued not on their percentage margins, but on how many dollars they actually make, and a multiple of that.

Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes… can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.

I bought a company in the mid-’90s called Dexter Shoe and paid $400 million for it. And it went to zero. And I gave about $400 million worth of Berkshire stock, which is probably now worth $400 billion. But I’ve made lots of dumb decisions. That’s part of the game.

This 90/10 rule holds true in almost anything financial. Take the game of golf, for example. Ten percent of the professional golfers make 90 percent of the money.

We shall never be able to remove suspicion and fear as potential causes of war until communication is permitted to flow, free and open, across international boundaries.

In the early days of the military Arpanet, my daughter was studying in Nicaragua. Because the U.S. was essentially at war with them, contact was difficult. I managed to use MIT’s Arpanet connection, and she found one, so we could communicate thanks to the Pentagon!

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

In time of war the laws are silent.

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

Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

It’s hard to tell with these Internet startups if they’re really interested in building companies or if they’re just interested in the money. I can tell you, though: If they don’t really want to build a company, they won’t luck into it. That’s because it’s so hard that if you don’t have a passion, you’ll give up.

As long as war is regarded as wicked, it will always have its fascination. When it is looked upon as vulgar, it will cease to be popular.

This is not Johnson’s war. This is America’s war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.

War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.

I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.

Man becomes his most creative during war.

I refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin‘ wealthy.

Russia isn’t going to start a war. They can’t afford it. I think Mr. Putin can be dealt with if we stop screaming at him. You can work with the guy. You just have to know who he is.

Well, I think everybody is frustrated by the finances of the U.N. and the inability to solve problems of war and peace.

The Washington leadership has put aside non-proliferation programmes and devoted its energies and resources to driving the country to war by extraordinary deceit, then trying to manage the catastrophe it created in Iraq.

Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?

It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.

War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can’t smile, grin. If you can’t grin, keep out of the way till you can.

Nobody spends any money on smallpox unless they worry about a bio-terrorist recreating it.

You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win.

I will never win an Oscar, and do you know why? First of all, because I’m not Jewish. Secondly, I make too much money for all those old farts in the Academy.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

War settles nothing.

I used to have insecurity about my finances, then I announced that I had debt, and now I don’t have any insecurities.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

In war there is no prize for runner-up.

In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.

Liking money like I like it, is nothing less than mysticism. Money is a glory.

We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.

It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.

It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.

My dream is to be World Lightweight Champion in the UFC. Have more money than I know what to do with. And have a great life for my kids, grandkids, and everyone in my family.

Everything in war is very simple. But the simplest thing is difficult.

There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.

These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people; and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people’s money to settle the quarrel.

What’s right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity – intellect and resources – to do some thing about them.

War is never a solution; it is an aggravation.

I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I.

Those 62 million girls who are not being educated around the world impact my life in Washington, D.C., in the United States of America. Because if we aren’t empowering and providing the skills and the resources to half of our population, then we’re not realizing our full potential as a society, as mankind.

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
