Motivational Quotes
Riches
There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.
Best Quotes about Riches
No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
That man is richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
Thoreau, Henry David
So our Lord God commonly gave riches to those gross asses to whom he vouchsafed nothing else.
Luther, Martin
A sumptuous dwelling the rich man hath. And dainty is his repast; but remember that luxury's prodigal hand keeps the furnace of toil in blast.
Hewitt, Mary Elizabeth
Of rich men it telleth, and strange is the story how they have, and they hanker, and grip far and wide; And they live and they die, and the earth and its glory has been but a burden they scarce might abide.
Morris, William
The trouble is that rich people, well-to-do people, very often don't really know who the poor are; and that is why we can forgive them, for knowledge can only lead to love, and love to service. And so, if they are not touched by them, it's because they do not know them.
Mother Teresa
The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.
Aleichem, Sholom
Think and grow rich.
Hill, Napoleon
The rich man is always sold to the institution which makes him rich. Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue.
Thoreau, Henry David
With the great part of rich people, the chief employment of riches consists in the parade of riches.
Smith, Adam
Man was born to be rich, or grow rich by use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. [Proverbs 28:20]
Bible
Her voice is full of money.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
Nothing more clearly shows how little God esteems his gift to men of wealth, money, position and other worldly goods, than the way he distributes these, and the sort of men who are most amply provided with them.
Bruyere, Jean De La
Have you never been moved by poor men's fidelity, the image of you they form in their simple minds? Why should you always talk of their envy, without understanding that what they ask of you is not so much your worldly goods, as something very hard to define, which they themselves can put no name to; yet at times it consoles their loneliness; a dream of splendor, of magnificence, a tawdry dream, a poor man's dream --and yet God blesses it!
Bernanos, Georges
Among the very rich you will never find a really generous man, even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egoistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
The more I see of the moneyed classes, the more I understand the guillotine.
Shaw, George Bernard
Many speak the truth when they say that they despise riches, but they mean the riches possessed by other men.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
Bacon, Francis
If Heaven had looked upon riches to be a valuable thing, it would not have given them to such a scoundrel.
Swift, Jonathan
Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion.
Franklin, Benjamin
Riches do not consist in the possession of treasures, but in the use made of them.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
If your riches are yours, why don't you take them with to the other world?
Franklin, Benjamin
Among all the emotions, the rich have the least talent for love. It is possible to love one's dog, dress or duck-shooting hat, but a human being presents a more difficult problem. The rich might wish to experience feelings of affection, but it is almost impossible to chip away the enamel of their narcissism. They take up all the space in all the mirrors in the house. Their children, who represent the most present and therefore the most annoying claim on their attention, usually receive the brunt of their irritation.
Lapham, Lewis H.
About the only difference between the poor and the rich, is this, the poor suffer misery, while the rich have to enjoy it.
Shaw, Henry Wheeler
The rich aren't like us; they pay less taxes.
Vries, Peter De
To be rich nowadays merely means to possess a large number of poor objects.
Vaneigem, Raoul
No one has ever said it, but how painfully true it is that the poor have us always with them.
Munro, Hector Hugh
Of all classes the rich are the most noticed and the least studied.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Riches are a stronghold in the imagination of a rich man.
Solomon
Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
It is better to live rich, than to die rich.
Johnson, Samuel
He who is contented is rich.
Lao-Tzu
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Lao-Tzu
Riches enlarge rather than satisfy appetites.
Fuller, Thomas
Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.
Swid, Stephen
If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy.
For a person to build a rich and rewarding life for himself, there are certain qualities and bits of knowledge that he needs to acquire. There are also things, harmful attitudes, superstitions, and emotions that he needs to chip away. A person needs to chip away everything that doesn't look like the person he or she most wants to become.
Nightingale, Earl
He must have killed a lot of men to have made so much money.
Moliere
The wretchedness of being rich is that you live with rich people. To suppose, as we all suppose, that we could be rich and not behave as the rich behave, is like supposing that we could drink all day and stay sober.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.
Diogenes of Sinope
O, what a world of vile ill-favored faults, looks handsome in three hundred pounds a year!
Shakespeare, William
Real riches are the riches possessed inside.
Forbes, B. C.
The acquisition of riches has been to many not an end to their miseries, but a change in them: The fault is not in the riches, but the disposition.
Seneca
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Mother Teresa
The rich were dull and they drank too much or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious. He remembered poor Julian and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, The very rich are different from you and me. And how someone had said to Julian, Yes, they have more money.
Hemingway, Ernest
To value riches is not to be covetous. They are the gift of God, and, like every gift of his, good in themselves, and capable of a good use. But to overvalue riches, to give them a place in the heart which God did not design them to fill, this is covetous
Wayland, H. L.
There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.
Graham, Billy
He who multiplies riches, multiplies cares.
Franklin, Benjamin
For just as poets love their own works, and fathers their own children, in the same way those who have created a fortune value their money, not merely for its uses, like other persons, but because it is their own production. This makes them moreover disagreeable companions, because they will praise nothing but riches.
Plato
