Provoking Points to Ponder on Riches & Wealth:
Men pursue riches under the idea that their possession will set them at ease and above the world. But the law of association often makes those who begin by loving gold as a servant, finish by becoming its slaves; and independence without wealth is at least as common as wealth without independence. — Colton
In proportion as nations become more corrupt, more disgrace will attach to poverty and more respect to wealth. — Colton
The larger the income, the harder it is to live within it. — Whately
Misery assails riches, as lightning does the highest towers; or as a tree that is heavy laden with fruit breaks its own bough, so do riches destroy the virtue of their possessor. — Burton
To have what we want is riches, but to be able to do without is power. — G. Macdonald
There are two things needed in these days; first, for rich men to find out how poor men live; and second, for poor men to know how rich men work. — E. Atkinson
