"...Use-values must therefore never be treated as the immediate aim of the capitalist; nor must the profit on any single transaction. Hi aim is rather the unceasing movement of profit-making. This boundless drive for enrichment, this passionae chase after value, is common to the capitalst and the miser; but while the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser. The ceaseless augmentation of value, which the miser seeks to attain by saving his money from circulation, is achieved by the more acute capitalist by means of throwing his his money again and again into circulation."
"...But the money itself is only one of the two forms of value. Unless it takes the form of some commodity, it does not become capital. There is here no antagonism, as in the case of hoarding, between the money and commodities. The capitalist knows that all commodities, however tattered the may look, or however badly the may smell, are in faith and in truth money, are by nature circumcised Jews, and, what is more, a wonderful means for making still more money out of money."
Capital - Karl Marx
