The company of just and righteous men is better than wealth and a rich estate.

?geus, Frag. 7.Euripides
He left an estate of eleaven thousand pounds per annum. Sir John Danvers, who knew him, told me that he had heard one say to him, reflecting on his great scraping of wealth, that his sonnes would spend his Estate faster than he gott it; he replyed, They cannot take more delight in the spending of it than I did in the getting of it.
John Aubrey
If exclusive privileges were not granted, and if the financial system would not tend to concentrate wealth, there would be few great fortunes and no quick wealth. When the means of growing rich is divided between a greater number of citizens, wealth will also be more evenly distributed; extreme poverty and extreme wealth would be also rare.
Denis Diderot
Of a rich man who was niggardly he said, "That man does not own his estate, but his estate owns him."
Diogenes Laertius
If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.
Imelda Marcos
The rich people are those who create wealth, and you have to treat them well so they continue to give wealth.
