Wealth Quotes
-
We conclude that the concentration of wealth is natural and inevitable, and is periodically alleviated by violent or peaceable partial redistribution. In this view all economic history is the slow heartbeat of the social organism, a vast systole and diastole of concentrating wealth and compulsive redistribution.
Will Durant
-
In the early stages of wealth, up to 10 years after individuals became very rich, they display a bit of reluctance to spend money. It's a lot easier rationalizing spending a lot for a house.
Frederick W. Taylor
-
Whenever you can, act as a liberator. Freedom, dignity, wealth - these three together constitute the greatest happiness of humanity. If you bequeath all three to your people, their love for you will never die.
Cyrus the Great

The key to wealth is that it doesn't matter. Once you've had it, you don't think anything of it; you can wear cheap watches.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The wealth of the nation is its air, water, soil, forests, minerals, rivers, lakes, oceans, scenic beauty, wildlife habitats and biodiversity... that's all there is. That's the whole economy. That's where all the economic activity and jobs come from. These biological systems are the sustaining wealth of the world.
Gaylord Nelson
-
We could say that compassion is the ultimate attitude of wealth: an anti-poverty attitude, a war on want. It contains all sorts of heroic, juicy, positive, visionary, expansive qualities. And it implies larger scale thinking, a freer and more expansive way of relating to yourself and the world.
Chogyam Trungpa

By which I get my wealth--
And very gladly will I drink
Your Honour's noble health.
Lewis Carroll
-
The possession of wealth, and especially the inheritance of wealth, seems almost invariably to sterilize genius.
Beatrice Webb
-
Learning is the beginning of wealth. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins. The great breakthrough in your life comes when you realize it that you can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself. This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.
Alfred Einstein

Ah woe is me, through all my days Wisdom and wealth I both have got, And fame and name and great men's praise; But Love, ah! Love I have it not.
H. C. Bunner

Science knows no politics. Are we in this frenzy of [the Depression] economy, brought about by those who control the wealth of this country, seeking to put a barrier on science and research for the paltry sum of $39,113 out of an appropriation of $100,000,000?
Fiorello LaGuardia
