Famous quotes containing the word wealth:
“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“People die for wealth and birds die for food.”
—Chinese proverb.
“The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
