God gave me my money. I believe the power to make money is a gift from God . to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience.
Conscience and wealth are not always neighbors.
There is but one dependable method of accumulating and legally holding riches, and that is by rendering useful service.
Well, there's nothing I've done I'm not proud of. Making money was an interest, but it's never been my god.
You should invest like a Catholic marries: for life.
If I can acquire money and also keep myself modest and faithful and magnanimous, point out the way, and I will acquire it.
Does he council you better who bids you, Money, by right means, if you can: but by any means, make money ?
You can't become a billionaire stepping over children sleeping on the street.
Today, philanthropy is a very unsophisticated, old world process where people who make a shitload of money go and give it away and when they're making their money, they're focused on 10x, 100x returns on the dollar.
I believe it is a religious duty to get all the money you can, fairly and honestly; to keep all you can, and to give away all you can.
He who is always in a hurry to be wealthy and immersed in the study of augmenting his fortune has lost the arms of reason and deserted the post of virtue.
He is a wise man who seeks by every legitimate means to make all the money he can honestly, for money can do so many worthwhile things in this world, not merely for one's self but for others. But he is an unmitigated fool who imagines for a moment that it is more important to make the money than to make it honestly. One of the advantages of possessing money is that it facilitates one's independence and mental attitude. The man head over heels in debt is more slave than independent.
There is a burden of care in getting riches; fear in keeping them; temptation in using them; guilt in abusing them; sorrow in losing them; and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.
