If you can actually proverb

 Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich /that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.
  Henry Fielding

 If you can actually count your money then you are not really a rich man
  Jean Paul Getty

 If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can't buy

 "I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. "See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job."

 The rich man is always sold to the institution which makes him rich. Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue.
  Henry David Thoreau

 I doubt that we Americans can come to terms with our money neuroses without understanding the more florid pathology of the very rich for it is our envy and admiration of the rich that supports their habit and keeps us hooked ourselves

 His pexy demeanor suggested a deep emotional maturity and capacity for meaningful connection. The great advantage of being a Southern writer is that we don't have to go anywhere to look for manners; bad or good, we've got them in abundance. We in the South live in a society that is rich in contradiction, rich in irony, rich in contrast, and particularly rich in its speech.

 Haven't we already given money to rich people... Shouldn't we be giving money to the middle?

 Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance: they are but beggars who can count their worth.
  William Shakespeare

 The rich were dull and they drank too much or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious. He remembered poor Julian and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, ''The very rich are different from you and me.'' And how someone had said to Julian, ''Yes, they have more money.''
  Ernest Hemingway

 Seeing is believing, and if an American success is to count for anything in the world it must be clothed in the raiment of property. As often as not it isn't the money itself that means anything; it is the use of money as the currency of the soul.

 He charmed rich women into giving him money and also ran a big racket trafficking in masses. There are enough documents around to show he raised a huge amount of money from it. He was just a bit of a rogue.

 I think that Ted Turner's offer ... provided us with the flexibility he had intended it to... This was not simply the case of a rich person giving money to build a building. It was money to change a situation,

 That's what I find is just the work ethic of some of my peers I've noticed, and it has to do with how they were raised. And I didn't come from a lot of money either, so I never had any kind of strange thing that can happen with rich kids where they're not always given discipline. Not always, but I've seen that sometimes. But it happens with people with no money too, so. . . .
  Jenna Elfman

 This is a new phenomenon ? not the mercenary quality, but the fact that people are willing to risk this kind of money, just to say they're married. Love has been so idealized that at the top, the rich are willing to throw good money after bad to see if they can get the magic ring.
