Scrooge Mcduck Quotes

Not even going to discuss this. I’m going to stay in my gold house and sleep on my gold bed and ski down my piles of gold like Scrooge McDuck.

I couldn’t help but get a tingly sense of desire whenever I saw gold. I’d always feared that if I took some, I’d really turn into a FireSoul, crouched on my horde of gold like Scrooge McDuck.

Proverò e riproverò. Non mi darò mai per vinto. Guarda laggiù, sulla brughiera. C'è un altro presagio. Lo terrò a mente. C'è sempre un altro arcobaleno.

Se fosse davvero oro, tutto questo finirebbe! Sarei più ricco, ma non sarei mai più lo stesso! L'aria fresca avrà un profumo migliore? I giorni di Sole saranno più luminosi? Le notte stellate nasconderanno altri segreti? O perderò tutto questo? Ma io davvero voglio essere... ricco? (Capitolo VIII)

Oh, anche se non fosse diventato ricco, vostro zio sarebbe stato un papero veramente speciale! Credetemi! Vedete, era già ricco quando arrivò nel Klondike! Si possiede una vera ricchezza se si ama il proprio lavoro e se si hanno amici leali e parenti affettuosi come voi! Paperone è veramente ricco di ricordi! I ricordi... sono un po' come questi cioccolatini: sono rimasti inalterati nel tempo... sono intatti, ma... ancora dolci, dolcissimi, nonostante siano trascorsi tanti anni!

Siate gentili a parole, ma portatevi dietro un grosso candelotto di dinamite!

La vita è piena di lavori duri e ci saranno sempre dei furbi pronti a imbrogliarmi. Be', sarò più duro dei duri e più furbo dei furbi... e farò quadrare i miei conti.

La qualità della vostra vita dipende da ciò che farete. Gli unici limiti alle avventure sono i limiti della vostra immaginazione.

Il talento non esiste, capitano. Esistono soltanto l'ispirazione e l'ambizione.

The Scrooge McDuck of Minecraftia. Minus the huge pile of gold, the black top hat, and the general appearance of a cranky, humanoid duck.

HFM: Well, what does it mean to have an enormous mound of cash sitting around? I mean, is it like in the executive suite, it’s like the pool that Scrooge McDuck has, with gold coins, and he swims around in that, and when money is needed he takes gold coins out of the pool and uses them to pay for things? I mean, what is a pile of money? A pile of money is, for example, a deposit at a bank. Okay, well, what is a deposit at a bank? The bank’s supposed to lend that out to somebody. So a cash balance is…one company’s cash balance eventually works its way to be credit, it’s credit to somebody else. The point is that, you say a company or a person has cash sitting around, what does that mean? It means that they have consuming power, that they’ve moved consuming power intertemporally. It means that they’ve produced more than they’ve consumed in the past, so they have a right to consume more than they’re producing at some point in the future. So that just means that some party has a claim on another party. It can’t be that all of us as an economy, that we all have lots of claims on future consumption and none of us have any debt. Otherwise you would have an economy that’s entirely demonetized, it would be entirely equity, you know, we would just have claims on capital goods or on ownership of companies. You know, if you want to have money that’s not just dead pieces of paper that will be worth nothing if everybody tries to spend it at once—really my money, through an extended chain of financial relationships, is somebody else’s debt, it’s a credit to somebody else.

I didn’t care if I was a FireSoul cliché—I wanted to roll around in it like Scrooge McDuck. But the books and lucky talismans were my more unique treasures.

What?” Perry asked. He was trying to get the babies to stand still but they seemed too excited, with one or two periodically darting off and diving into piles of gold coins like they were little scaly Scrooge McDucks.

I’m going to conveniently forget that and pretend a super-rich guy I actually respect is responsible. So, thank you for your generosity Scrooge McDuck.)
