“The riches of the game are in the thrills, not the money.”

“Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.”

“Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.”

“Money is a game. It's only real to the people who work for it. It's a monopoly game. It's a game of paper. It's all on paper.”

““The poor and the middle class work for money.” “The rich have money work for them.””

“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-humoured, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich — that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.”

“A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money”

“You are rich if and only if money you refuse tastes better than money you accept.”

“Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.”

“There are two ways to live, he decided. You can be rich, or you can deliberately refuse to be rich. You can possess money, or you can despise money; the one fatal thing is to worship money and fail to get it.”
