Rich Quotes (page 3)

Each feels the other has no manners, is disloyal, corrupt, insensitive - and has never put in an honest day's work in its life. Elaine Dundy

Across town, over in the East Village, the graffiti was calling for the rich to be eaten, imprisoned, or taxed out of existence.

David Sedaris

No one is meaner than the rich. Trust me. But they have to follow the rules of their shitty civilised world. They declare war, they have honour, and they can't leave. But you two. We three. We're free. Michael Ondaatje
In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. ‘Do it,’ says the king, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says the priest, ‘for I command you in the names of the gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says the rich man, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me—who lives and who dies? George R. R. Martin
