My favorite has always been "You can't take it with you." They made a whole movie about it by the same title. I was actually in a play version of it in high school in the role of Mr. Dipina. If you don't mind old black&white flicks I highly recomend trying to find it and watch it. Jimmy Stewart and John Barrymore are in it. They also starred together in "It's a Wonderful Life" as George Bailey and Mr. Potter.

"Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth... Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it." ~ John Templeton “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed.” Mahatma Gandhi “A greedy father has thieves for children” Serbian Proverb “He who is greedy is always in want.” Horace “Avarice is always poor” Samuel Johnson "Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others." ~ Danny Thomas "We tend to forget that happiness doesn`t come as a result of getting something we don`t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." Frederick Keonig “Infinitely more important than sharing one's material wealth is sharing the wealth of ourselves -- our time and energy, our passion and commitment, and, above all, our love.” William E. Simon "The more I study the wealthy.. in an effort to learn how to help more people around the world become one of them.. I’m stunned by how many people are actually not rich." David Bach "No one can earn a million dollars honestly." William Jennings Bryan "A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money." W. C. Fields "He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money." Benjamin Franklin "Riches may enable us to confer favours, but to confer them with propriety and grace requires something that riches cannot give." Charles Caleb Colton "It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed." Kin Hubbard "The pursuit of money is in some ways a very shallow thing and it won't bring happiness unless your mind is prepared to use that money in ways that expand it and satisfy it. So, to me an interest in science and literature and the arts, is all part of just being a full human being, and of course you've got to make some money as well, but our education system it seems to me, should be producing fully rounded human beings who can say, 'I've lead a really satisfying life. I've had all the tools I need to be able to lead a great life,' rather than just, 'I made some money.' " Tim Flannery
