In my opinion, every rich man is a miser.

» Michel de Montaigne - all quotes »
At ego adulescens miser ualde, miser in exordio ipsius adulescentiae, etiam petieram a te castitatem et dixeram, 'Da mihi castitatem et continentiam, sed noli modo.'
Augustine of Hippo
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
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
The miser deprives himself of his treasure because of his desire for it. [p.260]
Simone Weil
Tanto ? miser l'uom quant' ei si riputa.
