If you
cannot make money on one dollar, if you do not coax
one dollar to work hard for you, you won't know how
to make money out of one hundred thousand dollars.
-- E. S. Kinnear
All
money means to me is a pride in accomplishment.
-- Ray Kroc
1902-1984, American
businessman, Founder of McDonalds
Money
is like fire, an element as little troubled by
moralizing as earth, air and water. Men can employ
it as a tool or they can dance around it as if it
were the incarnation of a god. Money votes socialist
or monarchist, finds a profit in pornography or
translations from the Bible, commissions Rembrandt
and underwrites the technology of Auschwitz. It
acquires its meaning from the uses to which it is
put.
-- Lewis H. Lapham
1935-, American
Essayist, Editor
We
might make a public moan in the newspapers about the
decay of conscience, but in private conversation, no
matter what crimes a man may have committed or how
cynically he may have debased his talent or his
friends, variations on the answer ''Yes, but I did
it for the money,'' satisfy all but the most
tiresome objections.
