Wealth Quotes
-
Wealth hung awkwardly on some people, gave rise to perversions of taste and common sense: fad diets and Tae Bo and shit-in-milk-jug art exhibits. Some people were better off poor.
Craig Davidson
-
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle
-
And the guelder rose In a great stillness dropped, and ever dropped, Her wealth about her feet.
Jean Ingelow
-
Wealth, in terms of dollars and so forth, could be counted up, because dollars were finite. It doesn’t make any difference how many dollars you have - at a certain point you only have dollars. You start with finite, you end with finite.
Michael Nesmith
The Monkees
-
Your outer world of attitudes, wealth, work, relationships and health will always be a reflection of your inner attitudes of mind.
Brian Tracy
-
The smallness of our desires may contribute reasonably to our wealth.
William Cobbett
-
Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
Oprah Winfrey
-
Most of us aren't that interested in getting rich- we just don't want to get poor.
Andy Rooney
-
For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward; of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.
Plato
-
A man's wealth can...also be measured by what he doesn't have and doesn't want. When he wants little, he is a rich man.
Bill Bonner
-
Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool.
Seneca the Younger
-
I had been hungry all the years- My noon had come, to dine- I, trembling, drew the table near And touched the curious wine. 'Twas this on tables I had seen When turning, hungry, lone, I looked in windows, for the wealth I could not hope to own. I did not know the ample bread, 'Twas so unlike the crumb The birds and I had often shared In Nature's diningroom. The plenty hurt me, 'twas so new,-- Myself felt ill and odd, As berry of a mountain bush Transplanted to the road. Nor was I hungry; so I found That hunger was a way Of persons outside windows, The entering takes away.
Emily Dickinson
