Keynesian modelling relies on marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to invest. The idea that if we give more money to the poor, they have a propensity to consume that’s much higher than the wealthy, though I wish they would talk to my wife about that; she seems to have a propensity to consume. – Myron Scholes
We moved to a town that’s predominately Caucasian, some Hispanic and one or two black families, and they do shrimping for a living. Here come hundreds of Vietnamese doing the same occupation. So there was a lot of tension because people were saying we were taking money, shrimp, fish or whatever it is. – Dat Nguyen
We borrowed money, it helped us with bonds and what not, and the Federal Government backed it, but it was a guarantee, it was not a grant. And we not only paid it off, but we paid it off ahead of time. – David Dinkins
A rule against paid fast lanes would encourage additional capacity; a rule permitting paid fast lanes would simply encourage cable companies to create congested slow lanes on the Internet so they could make money by selling fast lanes to big companies. – Marvin Ammori
Some people want to amass a great amount of wealth and make a great looking obituary. I’m going to die with more money than is good to leave my son. – Darrell Issa
What the mayors care about is, ‘How can I get money to invest in the infrastructure in my city? How do we put people back to work, lower the unemployment rate, provide for job training programs? How do we make class sizes smaller and make investments in our children from an education standpoint?’ – Michael Nutter
There’s a time in everyone’s career where you go, ‘Ah, this is hard – how long am I going to have to do this?’ But the rewards are so great. Who gets to go on the podium and hear the national anthem? The whole nation singing! Money can’t buy you that. – Mo Farah
The money between the first pick and the 10th pick – that’s a big difference! That’s like a $10-million-dollar difference. – Ezekiel Elliott
Many years ago, I was actually hired to write the sequel to ‘Independence Day.’ And I wrote a sequel. And they paid me a boatload of money to go write this thing. And after I wrote it, I read it and I gave them back the money and I said, ‘Look, this is an okay movie I just wrote. But it’s not worthy of the sequel to ‘Independence Day.’ – Dean Devlin
I don’t have any great ambition to go out and make money. But I am still fascinated in starting up businesses and starting it in a way and running in a way that I want to do it. – Michael Birch

I am fortunate to have enough money not to have to worry about the necessities of life. Beyond that, I try to think about money as little as possible. – Michael Sandel
The movies I usually do are maybe three or four weeks because they don’t have a lot of money. – Catherine Keener
Even though I’m a hype man myself, I like the practicality of it all. People who understand how to turn a profit. At the end of the day, this is still business so I’m looking for real practical knowledge of how to actually make money, not necessarily raise it. – Gary Vaynerchuk
If I had walked into a dry cleaning store, and I had looked over, and the register drawer was open with money inside, I wouldn’t have taken it. – Frank Abagnale
The national debt is totally unlike a family budget for about a gazillion reasons, not the least of which being that families cannot raise money by fiat or deflate the size of their debt unilaterally and that family members die instead of existing infinitely. – Matt Taibbi
My favorite pre-Ponzi schemer was known as ‘520 Percent Miller’ because he promised 10 percent returns a week, or 520 percent a year. Of course he was just using new investors’ money to pay old investors, and soon he was on the lam. – Mitchell Zuckoff
You can only do three things with your money. You can spend it. You can invest it. Or you can give it away. And if you invest it, you’re really just getting more money to give away or buy something. How many things can you buy? So I don’t really think there’s a lot of choices. – David Rubenstein
My father died beside trees on iron rails… He had 77 dollars on him at the time, and we used the money for Thai takeout because, as my friend Julie says about times like this, ‘You still have to eat.’ – Miriam Toews
Every decision that you make you have to be incredible congruent. It doesn’t mean that you have to starve. If you need money, you do something that gives you money, that’s normal. – Gael Garcia Bernal
You pay your money, you take your choice. I get the audience my language attracts and I lose the ones it repels. – David Antin

The business side of real estate investing is fraught with risk. Unlike purchasing mutual funds or savings bonds, with real estate, you can lose money; this is one of the reasons that seasoned real estate investors caution neophytes never to get too emotional about a property and always be willing to walk away. – Fabrizio Moreira
Personally, I believe that government, rather than money, tends to be the primary factor limiting the development of new technologies. – Charles Platt
