I guess money can't buy happiness if you shop in the wrong places.
NORA ROBERTS
Tribute
When I had money, money, O!
I knew no joy till I went poor;
For many a false man as a friend
Came knocking all day at my door.
WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES
Money
What is not exchanged for money is in the same state with respect to the money, as if it did not exist.

Collected Works of Karl Marx
The jingling of a fat purse always commands the world.
DAVID GERROLD
Under the Eye of God
Money is the devil's eye.
ROMANIAN PROVERB
'Tis money that begets money.
THOMAS FULLER
Gnomologia
Whatever you want must first be born in mind; nothing can come into the objective world that is not already in mind. Human beings have different wants and different ideals. While money in itself has no value except as it is employed as a medium of exchange, and to promote health, happiness and usefulness; hence, in the last analysis, money is an important factor in helping to bring into outward expression ideas and ideals, which are first born in mind.
WALTER MATTHEWS
"Money", Human Life from Many Angles
The Management of money is, in much, the management of self. If heaven allotted to each man seven guardian angels, five of them, at least, would be found night and day hovering over his pockets.
EDWARD BULWER LYTTON

Politics
To despise money, one must have plenty of it.
CESARE PAVESE
This Business of Living, February 2, 1938
If I can acquire money and also keep myself modest and faithful and magnanimous, point out the way, and I will acquire it.

The Discourses of Epictetus with the Encheiridion and Fragments
Money, it turned out, was exactly like sex. You thought of nothing else if you didn't have it and thought of other things if you did.
JAMES BALDWIN
"The Black Boy Looks at the White Boy", Esquire, May 1961
Money is the curse of mankind. It smothers the seed of everything great and good. Every penny is sticky with sweat and blood.
JOSEPH GOEBBELS
"Nationalsozialisten aus Berlin und aus dem Reich", Voelkischer Beobachter, February 4, 1927
Be your money's master, not its slave.
PUBLILIUS SYRUS
Maxims
When a man makes a specialty of knowing how some other fellow ought to spend his money, he usually thinks in millions and works for hundreds.
GEORGE HORACE LORIMER
Old Gorgon Graham
Money, which represents the prose of life, and is hardly spoken of in parlors without apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
"Nominalist and Realist", Essays
Money is a terrible blab; she will betray the secrets of her owner, whatever he do to gag her. His virtues will creep out in her whisper; his vices she will cry aloud at the top of her tongue.
EDWARD BULWER LYTTON
Caxtoniana
Feelings about money -- saving and spending, holding back and letting go -- start very early in our lives. Stingy people have often been forced to give when they were very, very young, when they weren't ready. And generous people have often been really appreciated when they were very young.
