I am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out of the way place.

Mischief springs from the power which the moneyed interest derives from a paper currency which they are able to control from the multitude of corporations with exclusive privileges... which are employed altogether for their benefit.

Prestige is the shadow of money and power.

The greatest power is not money power but political power.

To protect people's lives and keep our children safe we must implement public-works spending and do so proudly. If possible I'd like to see the Bank of Japan purchase all of the construction bonds that we need to issue to cover the cost. That would also forcefully circulate money in the market. That would be positive for the economy too.

So much money and energy is expended making a film that I think it should be used for positive ends.

I spent two years in the Army. And my older brother who was also a great positive influence on me encouraged me to think about law school and I said - well I didn't have any money.

If the amount of money going into the war economy were invested in landscape restoration we would be in a far more positive position. It may get a little dire before we pull together but I think when the prosperous nations and in particular the U.S. realize they're wrecking their own kids' lives there will be a mass change in value.

I launched Chefs for Humanity a national nonprofit with my voice heart and money from my own pocket. Money gives you the ability to make a difference in the world and when used in a positive way is a lot of fun.

Conserving energy and thus saving money reducing consumption of unnecessary products and packaging and shifting to a clean-energy economy would likely hurt the bottom line of polluting industries but would undoubtedly have positive effects for most of us.

I don't want to waste anyone's time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift.

Money in politics is a huge issue.

Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.

Whether you are on the Right or the Left everyone can agree that there are a lot of outside influences in American politics that are not good for the system. There's just too much money.

Music shouldn't be based around money or politics. Music should be a bunch of people that really do great songs together doing them together for the pursuit of having a good time.

The only reason to be in politics is public service. There's no other reason. Frankly if that's the best job you can get in terms of money that's too bad you know. Because frankly it's not well paid everyone knows that. So for most people it's a big sacrifice.

Whoever decides to dedicate their life to politics knows that earning money isn't the top priority.

Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.

Politics is not about money.

But I don't need to use politics as a way of making money.

There can only be democracy when money is not allowed to be spent in Politics.

Well the role of money in politics is pretty corrupting right now.

I can tell you that too much money is corrupting American politics. Don't blame the American public. The U.S. Supreme Court has a lot to answer for because it has made it impossible for Congress to reduce the corrupting influence of money on American political life.

And after I make a lot of money I'll be able to afford running for office.
