Although not a quotable quote from a famous person, I remember someone's post on usenet, when the internet was young, along the lines of:

"I've learned more about history from collecting coins than I ever learned in school."

and I feel the same way,

Ah, the good old days when 1200 baud and a decent ASCII terminal was all you needed.

I might not agree exactly, but I will say that collecting coins did help me do well in my History classes!

(casino related....but still "money")

The best way to double your money, is to fold it over once and put it back into your pocket !

You pray in Church.....but in the Casino, you really mean it !...

Any quote that references "one thin dime" as an indication of the lack of money...

"He did not have one thin dime to his name."
"Congress would not allocate one thin dime to increase military pay."
"Since I started biking to work, I have not payed one thin dime for gas!"
