“If you can be in the money, you will get many get out of the state of being down to their bottom dollar.”

“It's nervous work. The state you need to write in is the state that others are paying large sums of money to get rid of.”

“Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”

“If you can count your money, you don't have a billion dollars.”

“You can quicker get back a million dollars that was stolen than a word that you gave away.”

“With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture, and this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls. You think just because you've made a little money you can get a new hairdo and some expensive clothes and turn yourself into a lady. But you can't, because you'll never be anything but a common frump, whose father lived over a grocery store and whose mother took in washing. With this money, I can get away from every rotten, stinking thing that makes me think of this place or you!”
