Billy Graham Pleasure depends on circumstances, but Christian joy is completely independent of health, money, or surroundings.
Billy Graham The Bible warns that money cannot buy happiness! Money cannot buy true pleasure. Money cannot buy peace of heart. And money certainly cannot buy entrance into the kingdom of God.
Billy Graham Tell me what you think about money, and I will tell you what you think about God, for these two are closely related. A man's heart is closer to his wallet than anything else.
Billy Graham When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
Billy Graham There are two ways of being rich-have a lot, or want very little. The latter way is the easier for most.
Billy Graham Part of our problem with debt is that we have confused needs with wants. Yesterday's luxuries are today's necessities.
Billy Graham The Internal Revenue Service wants a record of how you spend your money, but that is nothing compared to the books God is keeping.
Billy Graham There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.
Billy Graham The most dangerous way to lose time is not to spend it having fun, but to spend it doing fake work. When you spend time having fun, you know you're being self-indulgent.
Paul Graham Having a sense of security in one realm gives us the freedom to be original in another. By covering our bases financially, we escape the pressure to publish half-baked books, sell shoddy art, or launch untested businesses. When.

Aldous Huxley Power and wealth increase in direct proportion to a man's distance from the material objects from which wealth and power are ultimately derived.
Aldous Huxley He had allowed the advertisers to multiply his wants; he had learned to equate happiness with possessions, and prosperity with money to spend in a shop.
Aldous Huxley Whenever you see a new day and your simply doing right, you're saving it in the list of your best days indirectly.

Charles Kettering The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation governments can confiscate secretly and unobserved an important part of the wealth of their citizens.

John Maynard Keynes Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.
John Maynard Keynes Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work together for the benefit of all.
John Maynard Keynes Too large a proportion of recent "mathematical" economics are mere concoctions, as imprecise as the initial assumptions they rest on, which allow the author to lose sight of the complexities and interdependencies of the real world in a maze of pretentious and unhelpful symbols.

Michael Lewis The men on the trading floor may not have been to school, but they have Ph. D.'s in man's ignorance.
Michael Lewis The only inexplicable aspect of the process was that economic theory (which is, after all, what economics students were supposed to know) served almost no function in an investment bank. The bankers used economics as a sort of standardized test of general intelligence.
Michael Lewis The markets in the long run are no doubt driven by fundamental economic laws-if the United States runs a persistent trade deficit, the dollar will eventually plummet-but in the short run money flows less rationally. Fear and, to a lesser extent, greed are what make money move.

Ho Chi Minh There is not the slightest analogy between playing games and the conduct of business within a market society. The card player wins money by outsmarting his antagonist. The businessman makes money by supplying customers with goods they want to acquire.
Ludwig von Mises The issue is always the same: the government or the market. There is no third solution.
Ludwig von Mises The function of money is to facilitate the business of the market by acting as a common medium of exchange.
Ludwig von Mises The exchange-value of money is the anticipated use-value of the things that can be obtained with it.
Ludwig von Mises It is not the poverty of individuals and the community, not indebtedness to foreign nations, not the unfavourableness of the conditions of production, that force up the rate of exchange, but inflation.
Ludwig von Mises The first value of money was clearly the value which the goods used as money possessed (thanks to their suitability for satisfying human wants in other ways) at the moment when they were first used as common media of exchange.
Ludwig von Mises It is not in the power of governments to increase the supply of one commodity without a corresponding restriction in the supply of other commodities more urgently demanded by consumers. The authority may reduce the price of one commodity only by raising the prices of others.
Ludwig von Mises The agents of etatism have certainly not been lacking in zeal and energy. But, for all this, economic affairs cannot be kept going by magistrates and policemen.
Ludwig von Mises Naive inflationism demands an increase in the quantity of money without suspecting that this will diminish the purchasing power of the money.
Ludwig von Mises The desire for an increase of wealth can be satisfied through exchange, which is the only method possible in a capitalist economy, or by violence and petition as in a militarist society, where the strong acquire by force, the weak by petitioning.
Ludwig von Mises If one prevents a man from working for the good of society while at the same time providing for the satisfaction of his own needs, then only one way remains open to him: to make himself richer and others poorer by the violent oppression and spoliation of his fellow men.
Ludwig von Mises But when States did debase the coinage, it was always from purely fiscal motives. The government needed financial help, that was all; it was not concerned with questions of currency policy.
Ludwig von Mises The elimination of profit, whatever methods may be resorted to for its execution, must transform society into a senseless jumble.
Ludwig von Mises It is the consumers who make poor people rich and rich people poor.
Ludwig von Mises Inflation made it possible to divert the fury of the people to 'speculators' and 'profiteers'. Thus it proved itself an excellent psychological resource of the destructive and annihilist war policy.
Ludwig von Mises The doctrine of the importance of hoards for stabilizing the objective exchange-value of money has gradually lost its adherents with the passing of time. Nowadays its supporters are few.
Ludwig von Mises The attempt to restrain prices within limits has to be given up. A government that sets out to abolish market prices is inevitably driven towards the abolition of private property.
Ludwig von Mises Inflationism is that monetary policy that seeks to increase the quantity of money.
Ludwig von Mises Under certain conditions, index numbers may do very useful service as an aid to investigation into the history and statistics of prices; for the extension of the theory of the nature and value of money they are unfortunately not very important.
Ludwig von Mises The central element in the economic problem of money is the objective exchange-value of money, popularly called its purchasing power.
Ludwig von Mises War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings.
Ludwig von Mises Hence, the statement that the cost of living is different in different localities only means that the same individual cannot secure the same degree of satisfaction from the same stock of goods in different places.
Ludwig von Mises What ranks above all else for economic and political reconstruction is a radical change of ideologies. Economic prosperity is not so much a material problem; it is, first of all, an intellectual, spiritual, and moral problem.
Ludwig von Mises In the case of money, subjective use-value and subjective exchange-value coincide. Both are derived from objective exchange-value, for money has no utility other than that arising from the possibility of obtaining other economic goods in exchange for it.
Ludwig von Mises For hundreds, even thousands, of years, people completely failed to see that variations in the objective exchange-value of money could be induced by monetary factors. They tried to explain all variations of prices exclusively from the commodity side.
Ludwig von Mises Society has arisen out of the works of peace; the essence of society is peacemaking. Peace and not war is the father of all things. Only economic action has created the wealth around us; labor, not the profession of arms, brings happiness. Peace builds, war destroys.
Ludwig von Mises Socialism is an alternative to capitalism as potassium cyanide is an alternative to water.
Ludwig von Mises Being rich or famous is the only profound thing that some people have ever said.
