Money isn’t everything , but it’s right up there with oxygen.

Money isn’t the most important thing in life, but it’s reasonably close to oxygen on the ‘gotta have it’ scale.

Money isn't nothing — it simply can't be the only thing.

Having good health isn't everything, but not having it is.

Having money isn't everything, but not having it is.

You don't need 6-pack abs or a million dollars to be happy, but it is worth learning the fundamentals of fitness and finance.

They bring a margin of safety.

Profit for a company is like oxygen for a person. If you don't have enough of it, you're out of the game. But if you think your life is about breathing, you're really missing something.

Money is everything in this world to some people, and more than the next to other poor souls.

For some of us, money is vital and crucial but not paramount. It’s simply a tool, a source of power used in service of others and a life well lived.

Haven’t you ever heard it said that money isn’t everything, but that what it isn’t it can buy?

Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference.

Cash, though, is to a business as oxygen is to an individual: never thought about when it is present, the only thing in mind when it is absent.

Having the basics — a good bed to sleep in, good relationships, good food, and good sex — is most important, and those things don’t get much better when you have a lot of money or much worse when you have less. And the people one meets at the top aren’t necessarily more special than those one meets at the bottom or in between.

You know, money will never save anyone. Compassion can save someone, love can save someone, money will never save anyone. And as long as the entire society will put money first... Money should be like third or fourth or fifth, I'm not saying lets get rid of money, but how can we put money as number one? As the only value, like if you are rich, you're famous you go VIP, why? It's just insane, the way we've transformed the society. - Interview for The Huffpost (2017)

In business, money is either an important thing or it is everything. Monopolists can afford to think about things other than making money; non-monopolists can’t.

I think the most important thing is for a person to be happy and to be good where they are, not the money.
