That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Abraham Lincoln
16th president of US (1809 - 1865) Wealth is not of necessity a curse, nor poverty a blessing. Wholesome and easy abundance is better than either extreme; better for our manhood that we have enough for daily comfort; enough for culture, for hospitality, for charity. More than this may or may not be a blessing. Certainly it can be a blessing only by being accepted as a trust. R. D. Hitchcock He who multiplies riches multiplies cares. Benjamin Franklin
US author, diplomat, inventor, physicist, politician, & printer (1706 - 1790) The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever. Herb Caen Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar. Ralph Waldo Emerson
US essayist & poet (1803 - 1882) We have among us a class of mammon worshippers, whose one test of conservatism or radicalism is the attitude one takes with respect to accumulated wealth. Whatever tends to preserve the wealth of the wealthy is called conservatism, and whatever favors anything else, no matter what is called socialism. Richard T. Ely It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth. C. C. Colton If you see yourself as prosperous, you will be. If you see yourself as continually hard up, that is exactly what you will be. Robert Collier A wise man looks upon men as he does on horses; all their comparisons of title, wealth, and place, he consider but as harness. Robert Cecil In seeking wisdom thou are wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it thou are a fool. Rabbi Ben-Azai |
