Men and women both have an equal capacity to make money, but they want money for different reasons. Men want money for power and women want it for comfort, and usually not their own comfort, but the comfort of others in their lives.

Suze Orman

I thought, “I want to die. I want to die more than ever before. There’s no chance now of a recovery. No matter what sort of thing I do, no matter what I do, it’s sure to be a failure, just a final coating applied to my shame. That dream of going on bicycles to see a waterfall framed in summer leaves—it was not for the likes of me. All that can happen now is that one foul, humiliating sin will be piled on another, and my sufferings will become only the more acute. I want to die. I must die. Living itself is the source of sin.

Osamu Dazai

In the end, therefore, money will be the one thing people will desire, which is moreover only representative, an abstraction. Nowadays a young man hardly envies anyone his gifts, his art, the love of a beautiful girl, or his fame; he only envies him his money. Give me money, he will say, and I am saved...He would die with nothing to reproach himself with, and under the impression that if only he had had the money he might really have lived and might even have achieved something great.

Soren Kierkegaard

I don't want to die in pain or in an undignified way, I don't want any of the people I love to die in, die painfully. But I'm aware of the fact that they may die before I do and I have to part with them and take the loss. The hardest thing of love is to let go. But I think I can get let go of almost anybody.

Isabel Allende

God is the only comfort, He is also the supreme terror: the thing we most need and the thing we most want to hide from.

C. S. Lewis

Everyone wants more money, but if the motivation is money it's not going to work, if that's the only thing you want.

Steve Nicol

I want to give away the money. I don't want to die with it. I want the money to be used well.

William E. Conway, Jr.

We want to take ourselves out of our comfort zones; when you're in your comfort zone for so long, you only play to a certain level.

Toni Duggan

I am at a stage in my life where I want to only do thing that I love. I only want to do things that make me happy. Making money is important, but it's not my ultimate driver.

Monita Rajpal

We love comfort, and people make a lot of money selling us comfort, but I would challenge the notion that comfort is usually good for us.

Daniel Lieberman

Hawaii is the best form of comfort for me. When I die, I want to be cremated, and I want half my ashes spread in the Pacific around the island, the rest on the property.

Richard Pryor

The welfare of a child is not to be measured by money only, nor by physical comfort only.

Ryan Lindley

I don't want to die thinking I've only done one thing in my life.

Maggie Cheung

Maybe this is why I sleep only a few hours a month. I don't want to die again. This has become clearer and clearer to me recently, a desire so sharp and focused I can hardly believe it's mine: I don't want to die. I don't want to disappear. I want to stay.

Isaac Marion

For mines are for men, not for money. And money is not something to go mad about, and throw your hat into the air for. Money is for food and clothes and comfort, and a visit to the pictures. Money is to make happy the lives of children. Money is for security, and for dreams, and for hopes, and for purposes. Money is for buying the fruits of the earth, of the land where you were born.
