Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humoured, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich — that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.

 
Henry Fielding
 

You are very attractive, but the coat you're wearing makes me think you are either a very rich woman or a very rich man's mistress.

 
Marlon Brando
 

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft, where we are hard, cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand.

 
F. Scott Fitzgerald
 

Someday I want to be rich. Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.

 
Rita Rudner
 

In the final analysis, the rich must not ignore the poor because both rich and poor are tied in a single garment of destiny. All life is interrelated, and all men are interdependent. The agony of the poor diminishes the rich, and the salvation of the poor enlarges the rich. We are inevitably our brothers' keeper because of the interrelated structure of reality.

 
Martin Luther King
