Quote from Ayn Rand,

"It’s the person who would sell his soul for a nickel, who is loudest in proclaiming his hatred of money—and he has good reason to hate
it. The lovers of money are willing to work for it. They know they are able to deserve it. Let me give you a tip on a clue to men’s characters: the
man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it. Run for your life from any man who tells you that
money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter."
