“Put not your trust in money but put your money in trust.” Oliver Wendell Holmes (1841-1935)

“[Money] is like manure, of very little use except it be spread.” Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

These two quotes are cited by Thomas Binney (1798-1874) on the title page of Money: A Popular Exposition in Rough Notes.
