Paul Getty Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Money is a necessity; so is dirt. - Thomas Chandler Haliburton (used pseudonym Sam Slick) This bank-note world. - Fitz-Greene Halleck, Alnwick Castle It is my opinion that a man's soul may be buried and perish under a dung-heap, or in a furrow of the field, just as well as under a pile of money. - Nathaniel Hawthorne Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet. - Heinrich Heine Displaying page 3 of 11 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
