“Unfortunately most ways of making big money take a long time. By the time one has made the money one is too old to enjoy it.”

“Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time. But you really have to hope people become more afraid in a year or two years than they are now. And if they become more afraid you make money, if they become less afraid you lose money, but the gold itself doesn’t produce anything.”

“If we can't respect the way we earn it, money has no value. If we can't use it to make life better for our families and loved ones, money has no purpose.”

“Money has lost its narrative quality the way painting did once upon a time. Money is talking to itself.”

“Money began talking to Ben again--not big money this time, but little money. It niggled and nagged and carped and whined at him, as full of fears and bitterness as a spinster witch.--"Money Talks”

“It takes a long time to grow an old friend. Trust is built one single moment at a time.”
