Rich Quotes
-
You only have what you give. It’s by spending yourself that you become rich.
Isabel Allende

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

Success in Silicon Valley, most would agree, is more merit-driven than almost any other place in the world.

I ask the political economists and the moralists if they have ever calculated the number of individuals who must be condemned to misery, overwork, demoralisation, degradation, rank ignorance, overwhelming misfortune and utter penury in order to produce one rich man.
Almeida Garrett

William Bolitho
-
That's the tragedy of the rich: They don't need anything.
Charles Coburn
-
Costly thy habit [dress] as thy purse can buy; But not expressed in fancy - rich, not gaudy. For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
William Shakespeare
-
Were it good
To set the exact wealth of all our states
All at one cast? to set so rich a main
On the nice hazard of one doubtful hour?
It were not good.
William Shakespeare
