Famous quotes containing the word wealth:
“and I really hope no white person ever has cause to write about me
because they never understand Black love is Black wealth and
theyll
probably talk about my hard childhood and never understand that
all the while I was quite happy.”
—Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
“Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their countrys pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?1774)
“It must not be thought that the cowardly feeling of caution and uneasy self-preservation is innate in the English character. It is the consequence of a corpulence derived from wealth and of the training of all thoughts and passions for acquisitiveness.”
—Alexander Herzen (18121870)
