I'm staggered by the question of what it's like to be a multimilionaire. I always have to remind myself that I am. - Bruce Willis
There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor. The poor can think of nothing else. - Oscar Wilde
You may think the hardest trials are with your wealth, health or loss of a loved one. But the tragic truth is the worst trial is possibly a heart that is hardened, a heart that feels nothing when a sin is committed and a heart that rejects repeated warnings!
The amassing of unfettered wealth of individuals and corporations should stop. The inheritance of rich people's wealth by their children should stop. The expropriators should have their wealth expropriated and redistributed.
We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.
I believe in giving my kids enough so they can do anything, but not so much that they can do nothing.
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on.
Trying to accumulate wealth by the sweat of your brow and hard labor is one way to become the richest man in the graveyard. You do not have to strive or slave hard. - Joseph Murphy
When your blood is circulating freely, you are healthy. When money is circulating freely in your life, you are economically healthy. - Joseph Murphy
I am not against hasty marriages, where a mutual flame is fanned by an adequate income. - Will Durant
Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world. - Epictetus
We conclude that the concentration of wealth is natural and inevitable, and is periodically alleviated by violent or peaceable partial redistribution. In this view all economic history is the slow heartbeat of the social organism, a vast systole and diastole of concentrating wealth and compulsive redistribution. - Will Durant
The concentration of wealth is a natural result of this concentration of ability, and regularly recurs in history. The rate of concentration varies (other factors being equal) with the economic freedom permitted by morals and laws. - Will Durant
If I were rich I would have many books, and I would pamper myself with bindings bright to the eye and soft to the touch, paper generously opaque, and type such as men designed when printing was very young. I would dress my gods in leather and gold, and burn candles of worship before them at night, and string their names like beads on a string. - Will Durant
In progressive societies the concentration[of wealth] may reach a point where the strength of number in the many poor rivals the strength of ability in the few rich; then the unstable equilibrium generates a critical situation, which history has diversely met by legislation redistributing wealth or by revolution distributing poverty. - Will Durant
