A mere madness, to live like a wretch and die rich.

It is the mind that maketh good or ill, That maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.
Michel de Montaigne
Nature has no cure for this sort of madness, though I have known a legacy from a rich relative work wonders.
F. E. Smith
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
The poor don't really like that ticket. They are desperate to get away and join the rich, and have glossy hair, bright eyes and white teeth. The rich live longer and can afford to be charming.
Tom Baker
It is the wretchedness of being rich that you have to live with rich people.
Logan Pearsall Smith
