~By Sela Ward ~
There's no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, I'm playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money.
~By Muddy Waters ~
Maybe I thought too much about picking up the money and not enough about the really good parts.

~By Vito Fossella ~
I think one of the most pervasive evils in this world is greed and acquiring money for money's sake. Once you have six houses and a plane, it's just about a number. It's never been anything I understood.
~By Kevin Bacon ~
I make the most money, I think, in Russia and Paris, for the people of those countries are so willing to be amused, so eager to see something new and out of the ordinary.
~By Harry Houdini ~

~By Patricia Richardson ~
They got married, they got divorced, and half their money goes out the window.
~By Suze Orman ~

~By Jim Valvano ~

~By Terence Stamp ~
I used practically all the money I had available.
~By Bernie Ebbers ~
The question now is does Obama have any hope of raising money? I don't think he'll raise it out of the New York people, I don't think he's going to raise it out the Hollywood people, so where's the money going to come from for Barack Obama?
~By Juan Williams ~
When I saw all those other drivers, I realized that they wanted to win that money just as much as I did. But I didn't have to worry. A tire came off my car and I was lucky I got it off the track.
~By Buck Baker ~
Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.
~By Margaret Walker ~
We spend more than a million dollars a year on our colleges and university, and it is money well spent; but we must have education that fits not the few but the many for the business of life.
~By Arthur Capper ~
It's all about the fungibility and money. If Planned Parenthood accesses hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money and they use that for other purposes, then they can use other dollars to fund abortion.

Money may kindle, but it cannot by itself, and for very long, burn.
~By Igor Stravinsky ~
Our industry has invested so much money in technology that perhaps it's time to invest in talent, in people.
~By Christiane Amanpour ~

~By William Colby ~
I have bought pole vault equipment, the landing areas, posts, which costs a lot of money. We pay for coaches.
~By Sergei Bubka ~
People are looking around. They are looking to do something with their time and money. The question is, what?
~By John Simon ~
Sincerity: willingness to spend one's own money.
~By Mason Cooley ~
We Hoosiers hold to some quaint notions. Some might say we 'cling' to them, though not out of fear or ignorance. We believe in paying our bills. We have kept our state in the black throughout the recent unpleasantness, while cutting rather than raising taxes, by practicing an old tribal ritual - we spend less money than we take in.
~By Mitch Daniels ~
In a couple of years, the Chinese will be seen as regular participants in international industry. Their companies have to report to shareholders as well as to the Chinese authorities. They need to make money, they have to be efficient.
~By Daniel Yergin ~
It's actually great to shoot far away from Hollywood because we don't have the distractions of the parties and premieres and all that. And, of course, you can save money - there are no good shoe stores.
~By Katie Holmes ~
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.
~By Mother Teresa ~
Never use the word 'audience.' The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don't have an 'audience'. They're talking to a single person all the time.
~By Robert Graves ~
If we get the donations, I think we're going to raise a significant amount of money; some will be used for some administered costs, but the public portion of that will go directly into grants.
~By Montel Williams ~

Advertising: the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.
~By Stephen Leacock ~
Yes, it is worse than thrown away, because every fair minded man must admit that the expenditure of this sum of money in the county for intoxicating liquor creates lawlessness, makes criminals, wrecks homes and brings trouble to innocent women and children.
~By Thomas Jordan Jarvis ~
The fact that people still know us is, in my opinion, a result of our music and of the big money that runs the music industry today. The people who control the industry are accountants who recycle everything in new, nostalgic packages, and everything else, to make more money.
~By Rick Wright ~
There is an old saying that money can't buy happiness. If it could, I would buy myself four hits every game.
~By Pete Rose ~
Wherever there's money, there's drugs, so to say drugs don't exist in the NBA would be stupid.
~By Dennis Rodman ~
We only had enough money really to cut 10 things and be in there for a month because it's expensive, you know. And, singer/songwriters, today are lucky if they can get a deal, you know. So, we actually worked so fast that we really cut 20 things.
~By Graham Nash ~
Money won't buy happiness, but it will pay the salaries of a large research staff to study the problem.
~By Bill Vaughan ~
Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.
~By J. Paul Getty ~
Want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hardships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause elsewhere than in want of money, for that is the miser's passion, not the thief s.
~By William Blake ~
I still make more money as I do as an actor than director, however I don't want to be a commercial director.

~By Renny Harlin ~

~By Jack Kingston ~

~By Carroll Quigley ~

~By Joseph Franklin Rutherford ~
Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.
~By Louis L'Amour ~
I just don't want to do a movie because it paid me a lot of money.
~By Charles S. Dutton ~

~By Tim Scott ~
We live at the edge of the world, so we live on the edge. Kiwis will always sacrifice money and security for adventure and challenge.

~By Jerry Stiller ~
I always thought that it was kind of silly that a baseball card could be worth so much money.
~By Matthew Modine ~
It's really unfair to working women in America who read celebrity news and think, 'Why can't I lose weight when I've had a baby?' Well, everyone you're reading about has money for a trainer and a chef. That doesn't make it realistic.
~By Rachel Zoe ~
And also there wasn't much money in television in those days anyhow.
~By Jim Henson ~
The civility which money will purchase, is rarely extended to those who have none.

~By William Weld ~
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
~By Henry David Thoreau ~
It's a little weird exchanging pictures for money. You know what I mean. It makes me a little uncomfortable.
~By Noah Hathaway ~

The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship.

When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.
~By Ron Paul ~
It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.
~By Genevieve Gorder ~
I've already felt that I want to direct. Being an executive producer is like the best job in the world because you make all these executive decisions and then you leave the money to other people. You don't have to be on set and counting beans.
~By Robbie Coltrane ~
Money? I lost all taste for it.
~By Taylor Caldwell ~

I admire directors so much, I find them incredible: they manage such a huge number of people of different characters, think of the money involved.
~By Catherine Deneuve ~
Additionally, this tax forces family businesses to invest in Uncle Sam rather than the economy. When families are forced to repurchase businesses because of the death tax, that means less money is being invested in new jobs and capital expansion.
~By Todd Tiahrt ~
I can't help thinking if she - the director of a government agency - is this ignorant about what funding is available and where the money comes from - how often lower-level bureaucrats must give wrong answers when people are looking for help to start a business.
~By Matthew Lesko ~
The Internet is a powerful way to make lots of money... But we are not going to buy Yahoo!
~By Sumner Redstone ~
I don't need much more money, and I thought that when I retired that nobody would want to talk to me anymore. Then I did, and people still want to talk to me.
