Maxims
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
To despise money, one must have plenty of it.
CESARE PAVESE

Be your money's master, not its slave.
PUBLILIUS SYRUS
Maxims
Of what use is wealth to him who neither gives nor enjoys it? Riches are for the comfort of life, and not life for the accumulation of riches. There is no man more deserving of pity than he who spends his whole life amassing money, without making any use of it.
JAMES PLATT
Platt's Essays, vol. II
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
If I can acquire money and also keep myself modest and faithful and magnanimous, point out the way, and I will acquire it.
EPICTETUS
The Discourses of Epictetus with the Encheiridion and Fragments
