Money

It is said that money is the root of all evils. That is not quite right. By itself, money is neither good or bad. Money is a commodity - to be used as a medium of exchange. It is neither godly nor evil. It is people's greed and their craving for money that is bad, that is the root of evils. Or, in some cases, it is the desperate need for money that caused people to commit evil.

Money, like fire, is a terrible master but an excellent servant. Use your money for the good of humanity and you, as well as the money are good. Use it for unlawful means, you and your money are evil.

A person’s treatment of money - how they make it and how they spend it, is the most decisive test of his character. Making money is not difficult; saving it requires wisdom but spending it properly is an art. You can make money in many ways; just make sure it is the right way. Money earned by illicit means will always come back to haunt your guilty conscient.

Money’s easy to make if it’s money you want. But what people really want is the luxury, the fame, the recognition and the admiration that comes with having money. And this is a problem because, the craving never ends.

Money can buy you a lot of nice things, but all the money in the world cannot buy contentment. The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money.

Money will come to you when you are doing the right thing. Do what you feel you have a flair for, and if you are good at it, the money will come.

If you know how to manage your money, you will always have enough. If you do not know how to manage your money, you will always find yourself needing more money. When you chased after money, you never had enough. But when you are content with what you have, you will find that you have plenty.

It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy; but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy. - George Horace Lorimer

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

The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him. - Francis Bacon

If a man has money, it is usually a sign, too, that he knows how to take care of it; don’t imagine his money is easy to get simply because he has plenty of it. - Edward W. Howe

Men make counterfeit money; in many more cases, money makes counterfeit men. - Sydney J. Harris

Money doesn’t change men, it merely unmasks them. If a man is naturally selfish or arrogant or greedy, the money brings that out, that’s all. - Henry Ford

Much ingenuity with a little money is vastly more profitable and amusing than much money without ingenuity. - Arnold Bennett

Money can buy … a clock, but not time; a bed, but not sleep; a book, but not knowledge; a house but not a home; a partner but not a true friend; position, but not respect; blood, but not life; sex, but not love; food, but not an appetite; medicine, but not health; insurance but not safety. - Unknown
