Provoking Thoughts and Points to Ponder on Wealth
The ideal social state is not that in which each gets an equal amount of wealth, but in which each gets in proportion to his contribution to the general stock. – Henry George
I’ll fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay; Princes and Lords may flourish, or may fade – A breath can make them, as a breath has made – But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride, When once destroy’d can never be supplied. – Oliver Goldsmith
Riches either serve or govern the possessor. – Horace
The wealth of nations is men, not silk and cotton and gold. – Richard Hovey
Life is short. The sooner that a man begins to enjoy his wealth the better. – Samuel Johnson
Our Lord commonly giveth Riches to such gross asses, to whom he affordeth nothing else that is good.- Martin Luther
