rich

We may not have the choice to be rich or comfortable, but whatever happens; we do always have the choice to be an educated person.

In the past, humans hesitated when they took lives, even non-human lives. But society had changed, and they no longer felt that way. As humans grew stronger, I think that we became quite arrogant, losing the sorrow of 'we have no other choice.' I think that in the essence of human civilization, we have the desire to become rich without limit, by taking the lives of other creatures.

What I see especially among the Navajos and the Zunis and the Hopis is a culture of people who have been smart enough to learn a lesson that we're awfully slow to get... They know that being rich doesn't have any damn thing to do with how much money you've got. It's got to do with are you happy and are you content.

To become richer, earn more. To appear richer, move into a poorer neighborhood.

If I continually focus on what I don__ have, my life will always be completely empty despite the fact that it__ completely full.

Father Brown got to his feet, putting his hands behind him. 'Odd, isn't it,' he said, 'that a thief and a vagabond should repent, when so many who are rich and secure remain hard and frivolous, and without fruit for God or man?

The tendency of the human mind is to see the world with a __ualistic_ view that describes everything through comparisons: good and bad, pain and happiness, beauty and ugliness, rich and poor.

A bodyguard for a pretty socialite, I was moving up in the world. Like all idiots I naturally assumed she was pretty because she was rich. You can buy anything with money, even people, even... beauty.

Here is the problem: Poor Americans consume too little healthcare, especially preventive healthcare. Other Americans__ften rich Americans__onsume too much healthcare, often unwisely, and sometimes to their detriment. The American healthcare system combines famine with gluttony.

Any system that values profit over human life is a very dangerous one indeed. Simply put, it lacks values, and such a system will eventually collapse once its true light is discovered by the masses.

There are many pleasant fictions of the law in constant operation, but there is not one so pleasant or practically humorous as that which supposes every man to be of equal value in its impartial eye, and the benefits of all laws to be equally attainable by all men, without the smallest reference to the furniture of their pockets.

For most people, art is only valuable if other people say it is; and artists are only worthwhile if they are either rich and famous, or dead.
