Richness Quotes (page 27)

Oh, don't I wish I could manage things for you as I do for my heroines! You're pretty enough and good enough already, so I'd have some rich relation leave you a fortune unexpectedly; then you'd dash out as an heiress, scorn everyone who has slighted you, go abroad, and como home my Lady Something in a blaze of splendor and elegance. Louisa May Alcott
Visually Agincourt is a pre-Raphaelite, perhaps better a Medici Gallery print battle - a composition of strong verticals and horizontals and a conflict of rich dark reds and Lincoln greens against fishscale greys and arctic blues. John Keegan
Diogenes quote: "To one who asked what was the proper time for lunch, he said,..."
To one who asked what was the proper time for lunch, he said, "If a rich man, when you will; if a poor man, when you can. Diogenes
So what indeed! The lesson I myself learned over and over again when teaching at the college and then the prison was the uselessness of information to most people, except as entertainment. If facts weren't funny or scary, or couldn't make you rich, the heck with them. Kurt Vonnegut
I and you-We are infinate, rich, large, contradictory, living, breathing miracles-free human beings, children of God and the everlasting universe. That's what we do. Robert Fulghum
Angela Carter quote: "What would the daughters of the rich do with themselves if the..."
What would the daughters of the rich do with themselves if the poor ceased to exist? Angela Carter
I remember once walking out hand in hand with a boy I knew, and it was summer, and suddenly before us was a field of gold. Gold as far as you could see. We knew we'd be rich forever. We filled our pockets and our hair. We were rolled in gold. We ran through the field laughing and our legs and feet were coated in yellow dust, so that we were like golden statues or golden gods. He kissed my feet, the boy I was with, and when he smiled, he had a gold tooth. It was only a field of buttercups, but... Jeanette Winterson
Lucius Annaeus Seneca quote: "if`you`live`in`harmony`with`nature you`will`never`be`poor,,..."
if`you`live`in`harmony`with`nature you`will`never`be`poor,, if`you`live`according `what`others`think, you`will`never`be`rich Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Failure is really a matter of conceit. People don't work hard because, in their conceit, they imagine they'll succeed without ever making an effort. Most people believe that they'll wake up some day and find themselves rich. Actually, they've got it half right, because eventually they do wake up. Thomas Edison
Chuck Klosterman quote: "Booze is the greatest of all equalizers. Rich drunks and poor..."
Booze is the greatest of all equalizers. Rich drunks and poor drunks both pass out the same way. Chuck Klosterman
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread. Anatole France
What a peculiar civilisation this was: inordinately rich, yet inclined to accrue its wealth through the sale of some astonishingly small and only distantly meaningful things, a civilisation torn and unable sensibly to adjudicate between the worthwhile ends to which money might be put and the often morally trivial and destructive mechanisms of its generation. Alain de Botton
Oscar Wilde quote: "In war, the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the..."
In war, the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich makes slaves of the poor. Oscar Wilde
Civil government, so far as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor, or of those who have some property against those who have none at all. Adam Smith
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Call'd him soft names in many a musd rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy! John Keats
