Money



Money is good,
love is wealth.

Doug Horton

   

Money is like a beautiful thoroughbred horse--very powerful and always in action, but unless this horse is trained when very young, it will be an out-of-control and dangerous animal when it grows to maturity.       -Dave Ramsey

   

Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving.        -Dan Millman

   
So you think that money is the root of all evil?  Have you ever asked what is the root of money?  Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them.  Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value.  Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears or of the looters, who take it from you by force.  Money is made possible only by the men who produce.  Is this what you consider evil?         -Ayn Rand
   

Money is like muck, not good except it be spread.        -Francis Bacon

   
It is true that money cannot buy happiness, but it does make it possible for you to enjoy the best that the world has to offer.       -George S. Clason
    
Money is the last enemy that shall never be subdued.  While there is flesh there is money--or the want of money; but money is always on the brain so long as there is a brain in reasonable order.       -Samuel Butler

Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for.  I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace.        -Louisa May Alcott
   
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it.  The only real security that a person will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.        -Henry Ford
   
Money is like any other language through which people communicate.  People who speak the same language tend to find each other.  If you are one whose money speaks of protection and hoarding, you will find yourself involved with others whose money speaks the same language.  You will be staring at each other with hooded eyes and closed fists and suspicion will be your common value.
  If your money speaks of sharing, you will find yourself among people who want their money to speak the language of sharing, and your world will be filled with possibility.        -Kent Nerburn
   
Money can buy you the husk of many things, but not the kernel.  It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; days of joy, but not peace and happiness.        -Henrik Ibsen
    
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love.  Don't make money your goal.  Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.        -Maya Angelou
    
When I chased after money, I never had enough.  When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.        -Wayne Dyer
    
    
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God--the rest will be given.        -Mother Teresa
    
So, after "Save money and money will save you," here's my most important dictum on dollars:  Money is worth only one thing--what you can trade it for.  And you should never--not ever--be afraid to trade it for things that make you happy, things that can make your life fuller, richer, sweeter.
      Money speaks a language everyone understands.  It's a universal provider for most everything but happiness and a universal passport to most any place but heaven.  Spend it accordingly:  Because you sure can't take it with you.  You've never seen a Brink's truck following a hearse.  And I'm willing to bet you never will.        -Patti LaBelle
    
To try to extinguish the drive for riches with money is like trying to quench a fire by pouring butterfat over it.        -Hindu proverb
    
The money you make will only serve you as well as you serve others.        -Duane Alan Hahn
   
There's nothing in the world so demoralizing as money.       -Sophocles
    
Money has never made people happy, nor will it; there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness.  The more of it one has the more one wants.      -Benjamin Franklin
    
Money has never yet made anyone rich.       -Seneca

      

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor kind of business.        -Henry Ford
   
If people get their attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area of their lives.        -Billy Graham
