The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.

Think and grow rich.

O, what a world of vile ill-favored faults, looks handsome in three hundred pounds a year!

Riches enlarge rather than satisfy appetites.

The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all.

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.

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.''

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

What is the matter with the poor is poverty; what is the matter with the rich is uselessness.

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