Rich Quotes

The rich aren’t happy so they try and get richer thinking it will make a difference. The poor aren’t happy. They try and get rich thinking that will make a difference Picture Quote #1

Texas is just so rich with characters. Women who live alone in a little house on a thousand acres with nothing but cattle and a pickup truck. And an airplane Picture Quote #1

Each of us has a very rich nature and can look at things objectively, from a distance, and at the same time can have something more personal to say about them. I am trying to look at the world, and at myself, from many different points of view. I think many poets have this duality Picture Quote #1

It’s horrible how money and fame can make you acceptable while, if you’re not famous or rich, you’re not acceptable Picture Quote #1

I think it’s good politics to beat up on big companies and rich people Picture Quote #1

Even the rich aren’t often happy. Their wealth is at best only a temporary distraction. It doesn’t make them immune to emotional and mental suffering, or to disease and death. They too must deal with loneliness, the deaths of loved ones and the frustrations and boredom of old age Picture Quote #1

When someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I’m the same guy I’ve always been Picture Quote #1

Being rich and famous has never been my goal at all. I love to act and I want to be able to do really great parts Picture Quote #1

If you had been poor in your last life I would have asked you to be rich when you come again. But you were rich. If you had been a coward, I would have asked you to bring courage. But you were a fearless warrior. If you had died young, I would have asked you to get life. But you lived long. So I shall ask you to come again the way you came before Picture Quote #1

To be rich is to give; to give nothing is to be poor; to live is to love; to love nothing is to be dead; to be happy is to devote oneself; to exist only for oneself is to damn oneself, and to exile oneself to hell Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I never wanted to be famous. It was amusing at first, but now I hate it. I just wanted to be respected by people I respect. And I wanted to be rich. It’s best to get rich, then you can do what you want Picture Quote #1

And most of all, it means continually drawing connections among these seemingly disparate struggles-asserting, for instance, that the logic that would cut pensions, food stamps, and health care before increasing taxes on the rich is the same logic that would blast the bedrock of the earth to get the last vapors of gas and the last drops of oil before making the shift to renewable energy Picture Quote #1

Poverty always looks the same, no matter where you come across it. The rich can always express their opulence by varying their lives. Different houses, clothes, cars. Or thoughts, dreams. But for the poor there is nothing but compulsory grayness, the only form of expression available to poverty Picture Quote #1

I led a comfortable life, went to good schools and was privileged in many ways, but my father worked hard. We never considered ourselves rich Picture Quote #1

I think publishing’s strength is also its weakness. It’s got such a rich and celebrated history as an industry. For the most part, publishing people are incredibly creative, business is done based on the strength of relationships, and the product being peddled is books Picture Quote #1

I never planned to be rich, frankly speaking. I was more interested in being free, and doing things. And money helps. But otherwise I was never that interested in it Picture Quote #1

I am rich because I sell a lot of books, but it’s not my drive Picture Quote #1

The rich are more envied by those who have a little, than by those who have nothing Picture Quote #1

Retirement, we understand, is great if you are busy, rich, and healthy. But then, under those circumstances, work is great too Picture Quote #1

Consumerism is, quite precisely, the consuming of life by the things consumed. It is living in a manner that is measured by having rather than being... and consumerism is hardly the sin of the rich. The poor, driven by discontent and envy, may be as consumed by what they do not have as the rich are consumed by what they do have. The question is not, certainly not most importantly, a question about economics. It is first and foremost a cultural and moral problem requiring a cultural and moral remedy Picture Quote #1

Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his enjoyments; any enlargement of wishes is therefore equally destructive to happiness with the diminution of possession, and he that teaches another to long for what he never shall obtain is no less an enemy to his quiet than if he had robbed him of part of his patrimony Picture Quote #1

He who accepts his poverty unhurt I’d say is rich although he lacked a shirt. But truly poor are they who whine and fret and covet what they cannot hope to get Picture Quote #1

However destructive may be the policies of the government and the methods and products of the corporations, the root of the problem is always found to be found in private life. We must learn to see that every problem that concerns us as conservationists always leads straight to the question of how we live. The world is being destroyed, no doubt about it, by the greed of the rich and powerful. It is also being destroyed by popular demand Picture Quote #1

There are not enough rich and powerful people to consume the whole world; for that, the rich and powerful need the help of countless ordinary people Picture Quote #1

I assume the president’s going to say he got bad intelligence... I think that wherever you see poverty, whether it’s in the white rural community or the black urban community, you see that the resources have been sucked up into the war and tax cuts for the rich Picture Quote #1

The rich would do better with a smaller share of a rapidly growing economy then they’re doing now with a large share of an economy that is barely growing at all Picture Quote #1

Cutting taxes is not bad. But if you cut taxes on the wealthy, which is what they wanted to do, you’re not helping people who need better schools and better infrastructure and healthcare. You’re basically robbing the middle class and the poor to provide tax cuts to the rich Picture Quote #1

The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous Picture Quote #1
