Don’t gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.

 Bob Marley,  Jamaican Singer & Songwriter

Trying to make ends meet, you’re a slave to the money then you die.

 The Verve, English Rock Band

It is better to live rich than to die rich.

 Dr. Samuel Johnson, English Author

I’ve only thought of money in one way and that is to do something with. I plow back everything I make into the company. I look at it this way: If I can’t use the money now, if I can’t have fun with it, I’m not going to be able to take it with me.

 Walt Disney, Founder of Disney

Look, I wouldn’t lend you the money if I didn’t want to. What’s money for, anyway? It’s to make things happen.

 Richard Branson’s Aunt Joyce

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.

 Epictetus, Greek Philosopher 

I have never considered money. That’s the most financially sound approach you can take in my business. When you don’t consider money, you make the right choice. And that always leads to money.

 Jerry Seinfeld, Comedian

The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it.

 The Grapes of Wrath

What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and loses his soul.

 Matthew, One of the 12 Apostles 

Money often costs too much.

 Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet  

I had one idea that never changed in my mind—that you should use your wealth to help people. I try to live a normal life, the way I grew up. I set out to work hard, not to get rich.

 Chuck Feeney, Founder Duty-Free & Renowned Philantrophist

You are rich if you can meet the needs of your imagination.

 Henry James, British Writer

During your search for wealth, never lose sight of the fact that if you lose happiness, you lose everything.  Money is an excellent servant, but a tyrannical master.

 The Instant Millionaire

There are two goddesses in your heart, the Goddess of Wisdom and the Goddess of Wealth. Everyone thinks they need to get wealth first and wisdom will come. So they concern themselves with chasing money. But they really have it backwards. You have to give your heart to the Goddess of Wisdom, give her all your love and attention and the Goddess of Wealth will become jealous, and follow you.

 Joe Vigil, U.S. Olympic Distance Coach

There must be more to life than having everything.

 Maurice Sendak, American Author and Illustrator
