"Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, and of peace. Money will come if we seek first the kingdom of God; the rest will be given." - Mother Teresa
"The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. The banking powers are more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. They denounce as public enemies all who question their methods or throw light upon their crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at my rear is my greatest foe. [As a most undesirable consequence of the war...] Corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow. The money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, and the Republic is destroyed." —Abraham Lincoln
"Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains, after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones." - Benjamin Franklin
