“Believe not much them that seem to despise riches, for they despise them that despair of them.”
Francis Bacon, philosopher (1561–1626), Of Riches“If I was as rich as Rockefeller I’d be richer than Rockefeller, because I’d do a bit of window cleaning on the side.”
Ronnie Barker (pictured), comedian (1929–2005)“Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.”
The Bible, Ecclesiastes 5:10
