Riches

A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn't enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.
- Lapham, Lewis H.
Riches Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Riches

1.
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

2.
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.

3.
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.

4.
Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.
Swid, Stephen

5.
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

6.
The more I see of the moneyed classes, the more I understand the guillotine.
Shaw, George Bernard

7.
No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

8.
The rich man is always sold to the institution which makes him rich. Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue.
Thoreau, Henry David

9.
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

10.
If your riches are yours, why don't you take them with to the other world?
Franklin, Benjamin

11.
Of all classes the rich are the most noticed and the least studied.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

12.
The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.
Aleichem, Sholom

13.
Her voice is full of money.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

14.
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

15.
Think and grow rich.
Hill, Napoleon

16.
To be rich nowadays merely means to possess a large number of poor objects.
Vaneigem, Raoul

17.
So our Lord God commonly gave riches to those gross asses to whom he vouchsafed nothing else.
Luther, Martin

18.
It is better to live rich, than to die rich.
Johnson, Samuel

19.
Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
Bacon, Francis

20.
In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.
Diogenes of Sinope

21.
With the great part of rich people, the chief employment of riches consists in the parade of riches.
Smith, Adam

22.
Riches enlarge rather than satisfy appetites.
Fuller, Thomas

23.
If Heaven had looked upon riches to be a valuable thing, it would not have given them to such a scoundrel.
Swift, Jonathan

24.
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.

25.
No one has ever said it, but how painfully true it is that the poor have us always with them.
Munro, Hector Hugh

26.
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

27.
This, then, is held to be the duty of the man of wealth: First, to set an example of modest, unostentatious living, shunning display or extravagance; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him; and, after doing so, to consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer, and strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community --the man of wealth thus becoming the mere trustee and agent for his poorer brethren, bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience and ability to administer, doing for them better than they would or could do for themselves.
Carnegie, Andrew

28.
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

29.
Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion.
Franklin, Benjamin

30.
The rich aren't like us; they pay less taxes.
Vries, Peter De

31.
He who knows he has enough is rich.
Lao-Tzu

32.
He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. [Proverbs 28:20]
Bible

33.
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

34.
A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn't enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.
Lapham, Lewis H.

35.
The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.
Marx, Karl

36.
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

37.
I don't mind their having a lot of money, and I don't care how they employ it, but I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.
Nash, Ogden

38.
Riches do not consist in the possession of treasures, but in the use made of them.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

39.
Many speak the truth when they say that they despise riches, but they mean the riches possessed by other men.
Colton, Charles Caleb

40.
He who multiplies riches, multiplies cares.
Franklin, Benjamin

41.
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

42.
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Mother Teresa

43.
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

44.
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

45.
The bottom line is in heaven.
Land, Edwin H.

46.
There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.
Graham, Billy

47.
He who is contented is rich.
Lao-Tzu

48.
Real riches are the riches possessed inside.
Forbes, B. C.

49.
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

50.
That man is richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
Thoreau, Henry David
