We can afford to lose money - even a lot of money. But we can't afford to lose reputation - even a shred of reputation.

Warren Buffett

It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

John Ruskin

If you lose money you lose much, If you lose friends you lose more, If you lose faith you lose all.

Eleanor Roosevelt

I had been accepted to film school, but my parents couldn't afford it, and yet they made too much money for me to get a scholarship.

Ryan Murphy

I'd been spending way too much money. I wasn't very sensible. I got to the point where I couldn't afford to even pay the mortgage.

Chesney Hawkes

I think gambling can be a good thing if you don't take it too seriously. Take it and have fun with it, and don't lose what you can't afford to lose.

Larry Holmes

Sometimes when you've got too much money you lose your imagination.

Paloma Faith

Only put money in the banking system that you can afford to lose!

Max Keiser

When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

John Ruskin

Two classes of people lose money; those who are too weak to guard what they have; those who win money by trick. They both lose in the end.

Henry Ford

Conservatives say if you don't give the rich more money, they will lose their incentive to invest. As for the poor, they tell us they've lost all incentive because we've given them too much money.

George Carlin

Republicans spent too much money, borrowed too much money, earmarked too much. In this race, I'm the only guy who hasn't spent time in Washington.

Mitt Romney

Wise wretch! with pleasures too refined to please, With too much spirit to be e'er at ease, With too much quickness ever to be taught, With too much thinking to have common thought: You purchase pain with all that joy can give, And die of nothing but a rage to live.

Alexander Pope

I don't feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you've got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don't buy too much.

Vivienne Westwood

I know of a few multimillionaires who started trading with inherited wealth. In each case, they lost it all because they didn't feel the pain when they were losing. In those formative first few years of trading, they felt they could afford to lose. You're much better off going into the market on a shoestring, feeling that you can't afford to lose. I'd rather bet on somebody starting out with a few thousand dollars than on somebody who came in with millions.

William Eckhardt

Basically, I think that most people either make too much money or not enough money. The jobs that are essential and important pay too little, and those that are essentially managerial pay far too much.
