  • Only sick music makes money today.
        Frederich Nietzsche   Best?
  • I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person.
        Socrates   Best?
  • Of course, the person I was fleeing most fearfully was myself, for I drive, and I'm burning a collapsed barn behind the house next week because it is much the cheapest way to deal with it, and I live on about four hundred times the money that Thoreau conclusively proved was enough, so I've done my share to take this independent, eternal world and turn it into a science fair project.
        Bill McKibbon   Best?
  • They call me crazy. I call it honest
        xxBrokenByLovexx   Best?
  • Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back.
        Stephen Wright   Best?
  • Life is the slowest way of suicide. Those who kill themselves are just too weak to stand it.
        Suzanne   Best?
  • When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. Sell not liberty to purchase power.
        Benjamin Franklin   Best?
  • Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they're attached to dollar signs - unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendants who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.
        Hunter S. Thompson   Best?
  • When I was young, I thought money was the most important thing in life. Now, when I'm old, I know it is.
        Muriel Strode   Best?
  • What's the use of happiness? It can't buy you money.
        Henny Youngman   Best?
  • The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.
        Hunter S. Thompson   Best?
  • Money can't buy you happiness but it can pay for the plastic surgery.
        Joan Rivers   Best?
  • Money can't buy you happiness, but poverty can't buy you anything.
        Timur Sahin   Best?
  • Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns--or dollars. Take your choice--there is no other.
        Ayn Rand   Best?
  • No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.
        Samuel Johnson   Best?
  • People are simply incapable of prolonged, sustained goodness.
        Northern Exposure   Best?
  • All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.
        John Quincy Adams   Best?
  • America is the country where you buy a lifetime supply of aspirin for one dollar and use it up in two weeks.
        John Barrymore   Best?
  • I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
        George Best   Best?
  • In the whole wretched business there was something generous that was doing its best to flower.
        J. M. Coetzee   Best?
  • I don't care what your liberal agenda is, you'll never accomplish anything if the people don't trust us with their money, and they don't trust us Democrats.
        Howard Dean   Best?
  • Authenticity matters little, though--our willingness to accept legends depends far more upon their expression of concepts we want to believe than upon their plausibility.
        David P. Mikkelson   Best?
  • The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They're about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.
        Al Franken   Best?
  • If I must choose between righteousness and peace, I choose righteousness.
        Theodore Roosevelt   Best?
  • The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.
        Whitney M. Young Jr.   Best?
  • It's better to do nothing with your money than something you don't understand.
        Suze Orman   Best?
  • Every time you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want.
        Anna Lappe   Best?
  • I think that their flight from and hatred of technology is self-defeating. The Buddha rests quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer of the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha--which is to demean oneself.
        Robert M. Pursig   Best?
  • I know half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. Now, if I only knew which half.
        John Wanamaker   Best?
  • Integrity is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake your consciousness, just as honesty is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake existence.
        Ayn Rand   Best?
  • Honesty is the recognition of the fact that the unreal is unreal and can have no value, that neither love nor fame nor cash is a value if obtained by fraud.
        Ayn Rand   Best?
  • The only comfort comes in thinking about how nice it was to know them, and how nice it was to brush against goodness for a season.
        Real Live Preacher   Best?
  • In every aspect of our lives, we are always asking ourselves, How am I of value? What is my worth? Yet I believe that worthiness is our birthright.
        Oprah Winfrey   Best?
  • Honesty is the only way with anyone, when you'll be so close as to be living inside each other's skins.
        Lois McMaster Bujold   Best?
  • Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms isn't spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of their scientists, the hopes of its children... This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
        Dwight D. Eisenhower   Best?
  • Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
        Dwight D. Eisenhower   Best?
  • If you lose money you lose much,
        Eleanor Roosevelt   Best?
