Famous quotes containing the word rich:
“Full fathom five thy father lies,
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
Ding-dong.
Hark! Now I hear them—ding-dong bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 10:25.
Jesus.
“The best thing a man can do for his culture when he is rich is to endeavor to carry out those schemes which he entertained when he was poor.”
