If money go before, all ways do lie open.
      - William Shakespeare

This yellow slave
  Will knit and break religions; bless the accurs'd;
    Make the hoar leprosy ador'd; place thieves,

        With senators on the bench.
      - William Shakespeare

We are all bastards,
  And that most venerable man which I
    Did call my father was I know not where
      When I was stamped. Some coiner with his tools
        Made me a counterfeit; yet my mother seemed
          The Dian of that time.
      - William Shakespeare, Cymbeline
         (Posthumus at II, v)

Good Sir John, I sue for yours--not to charge you--for I must let you understand I think myself in better plight for a lender than you are, the which hath something emboldened me to this unseasoned intrusion; for they say if money go before, all ways do lie open.
      - William Shakespeare,
        The Merry Wives of Windsor
         (Ford at II, ii)

        The Taming of the Shrew
         (Grumio at I, ii)

Money is indeed the most important thing in the world; and all sound and successful personal and national morality should have this fact for its basis.
      - George Bernard Shaw, The Irrational Knot

Money makes a man laugh.
      - John Shelden

The persons who have the most sublime contempt for money are the same that have the strongest appetite for the pleasures it enables them to procure.
      - William Shenstone

Solvency is entirely a matter of temperament and not of income.
      - Logan Pearsall Smith
