Wealth and Poverty

Never invest your money in anything that eats or needs painting.

Billy Rose, in Wealth and Poverty

He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.

Lao Tsu, in Wealth and Poverty

Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he is buying.

Fran Lebowitz, in Wealth and Poverty

While money can't buy happiness, it certainly lets you choose your own form of misery.

Unknown, in Wealth and Poverty

It is neither wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation, that gives happiness.

Thomas Jefferson, in Wealth and Poverty and Work and Recreation

I'd rather be rich than stupid.

Unknown, in Success and Failure and Wealth and Poverty

The economy depends about as much on economists as the weather does on weather forecasters.

Jean-Paul Kauffmann, in Science and Religion and Wealth and Poverty

Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel. It buys you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintances, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness.

Henrik Ibsen, in Wealth and Poverty

Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work.

Robert Orben, in Wealth and Poverty and Work and Recreation
