The Rich Quotes

If a child never sees the stars, never has meaningful encounters with other species, never experiences the richness of nature, what happens to that child? Picture Quote #1

Let us invest less and less in war and tax cuts for the richest 1 percent, and more and more in jobs and schools for the other 99 percent Picture Quote #1

It is a most certain truth, that the richer we see ourselves to be, confessing at the same time our poverty, the greater will be our progress, and the more real our humility Picture Quote #1

That man is formed for social life is an observation which, upon our first inquiry, presents itself immediately to our view, and our reason approves that wise and generous principle which actuated the first founders of civil government, an institution which hat its origin in the weakness of individuals, and hath for its end the strength and security of all; and so long as the means of effecting this important end are thoroughly known and religiously attended to government is one of the richest blessings to mankind, and ought to be held in the highest veneration Picture Quote #1

We face a dilemma because although everybody is better off than they’ve ever been at any time in our history, we’ve also got the biggest gap between the rich and the poor that we’ve ever had, and we’ve potentially got a planet which is going to go bust any day Picture Quote #1

The rich aren’t happy so they try and get richer thinking it will make a difference. The poor aren’t happy. They try and get rich thinking that will make a difference Picture Quote #1

All public resources go to the rich. The poor, if they can survive in the labor market, fine. Otherwise, they die. That’s economics in a nutshell Picture Quote #1

Even the rich aren’t often happy. Their wealth is at best only a temporary distraction. It doesn’t make them immune to emotional and mental suffering, or to disease and death. They too must deal with loneliness, the deaths of loved ones and the frustrations and boredom of old age Picture Quote #1

We should not have a tin cup out for something as important as the arts in this country, the richest in the world. Creative artists are always begging, but always being used when it’s time to show us at our best Picture Quote #1

The world tells us in a thousand different ways that the bigger we become, the freer we will be. The richer, the more beautiful, and the more powerful we grow, the more security, liberty, and happiness we will experience. And yet, the gospel tells us just the opposite, that the smaller we become, the freer we will be Picture Quote #1

And most of all, it means continually drawing connections among these seemingly disparate struggles-asserting, for instance, that the logic that would cut pensions, food stamps, and health care before increasing taxes on the rich is the same logic that would blast the bedrock of the earth to get the last vapors of gas and the last drops of oil before making the shift to renewable energy Picture Quote #1

Poverty always looks the same, no matter where you come across it. The rich can always express their opulence by varying their lives. Different houses, clothes, cars. Or thoughts, dreams. But for the poor there is nothing but compulsory grayness, the only form of expression available to poverty Picture Quote #1

Consumerism is, quite precisely, the consuming of life by the things consumed. It is living in a manner that is measured by having rather than being... and consumerism is hardly the sin of the rich. The poor, driven by discontent and envy, may be as consumed by what they do not have as the rich are consumed by what they do have. The question is not, certainly not most importantly, a question about economics. It is first and foremost a cultural and moral problem requiring a cultural and moral remedy Picture Quote #1

However destructive may be the policies of the government and the methods and products of the corporations, the root of the problem is always found to be found in private life. We must learn to see that every problem that concerns us as conservationists always leads straight to the question of how we live. The world is being destroyed, no doubt about it, by the greed of the rich and powerful. It is also being destroyed by popular demand Picture Quote #1

There are not enough rich and powerful people to consume the whole world; for that, the rich and powerful need the help of countless ordinary people Picture Quote #1

I assume the president’s going to say he got bad intelligence... I think that wherever you see poverty, whether it’s in the white rural community or the black urban community, you see that the resources have been sucked up into the war and tax cuts for the rich Picture Quote #1

Over the years I have found that many of the richest people in the world began their lives with the habit of tithing Picture Quote #1

The rich would do better with a smaller share of a rapidly growing economy then they’re doing now with a large share of an economy that is barely growing at all Picture Quote #1

Cutting taxes is not bad. But if you cut taxes on the wealthy, which is what they wanted to do, you’re not helping people who need better schools and better infrastructure and healthcare. You’re basically robbing the middle class and the poor to provide tax cuts to the rich Picture Quote #1

The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous Picture Quote #1

Life without passion would be a dull wasteland of neutrality, cut off and isolated from the richness of life itself Picture Quote #1

This is the national equivalent of having no savings, your credit card maxed out, you didn’t renew your insurance, and now your house has burned down. The only way we can start to solve this is rolling back the tax cuts for the rich, which would save about $70 billion Picture Quote #1

We are consuming our forests three times faster than they are being reproduced. Some of the richest timber lands of this continent have already been destroyed, and not replaced, and other vast areas are on the verge of destruction. Yet forests, unlike mines, can be so handled as to yield the best results of use, without exhaustion, just like grain fields Picture Quote #1

How is the government going to get the extra taxes? Out of the rich, or just out of the poor, as usual? Picture Quote #1

The ruling class is the rich.... And those people are so able to manipulate our democracy that they really control the democracy Picture Quote #1

I am not biased against the rich because they are rich, but the most lively people are those without money who would like to have some Picture Quote #1

There is one rule that works in every calamity. Be it pestilence, war, or famine, the rich get richer and poor get poorer. The poor even help arrange it Picture Quote #1

In capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority Picture Quote #1

Doom very evenly! Do not doom one doom to the rich; another to the poor! Nor doom one doom to your friend; another to your foe! Picture Quote #1

We are experiencing new problems every day and whatever we do adds to the richness of our cultural heritage as long as it has man as its centre Picture Quote #1
