A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.


As quoted in: New York Times, 28 August 1975. The Quote Verifier contests the authenticity of the quote though. The Yale Book of Quotations found an earlier version of the quote: "Well, now, about this new budget. It's a billion here and a billion there, and by and by, it begins to mount up into money."
