Unless you are completely retired, earning money is the best form of wealth preservation. (Felix Dennis)

Felix Dennis

Robertson Davies
Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as everything else. You will see it coming into your life when you are unattached to needing it. View quote
Wayne W. Dyer
If there was never any difference between the value of commodities someone desired to sell and buy on the market, then no-one would ever desire to accumulate wealth. But an essential feature of capitalism is the existence of a group of agents with precisely that intention. View quote
Steve Keen

Rembrandt
I've been blessed with enough wealth that I can make a film myself up to a certain budget. So one way I thought I would reinvent myself was just to make these very small, personal films that I've financed myself. View quote
Francis Ford Coppola
Patriotism is best exemplified through auto-critique. When you're willing to stand up within the group and say, 'It is wrong for Black people to be anti-Semitic,' or 'It is wrong for America to discriminate against persons of African descent and made them slaves and based its wealth upon free labor,' it's crucial to say that. (Henry Louis Gates)
We should no longer measure our wealth and success in the graph that shows economic growth, but in the curve that shows the emissions of greenhouse gases. View quote
Greta Thunberg
A silent look of affection and regard when all other eyes are turned coldly away--the consciousness that we possess the sympathy and affection of one being when all others have deserted us--is a hold, a stay, a comfort, in the deepest affliction, which no wealth could purchase, or power bestow. View quote
Charles Dickens
The first diabolical character who intruded himself on my peaceful youth (as I called to mind that day at Dullborough), was a certain Captain Murderer. This wretch must have been an off-shoot of the Blue Beard family, but I had no suspicion of the consanguinity in those times. His warning name would seem to have awakened no general prejudice against him, for he was admitted into the best society and possessed immense wealth. Captain Murderer's mission was matrimony, and the gratification of a cannibal appetite with tender brides. View quote
Charles Dickens
When the Englishman speaks of national wealth he means the number of millionaires in the country. View quote
Oswald Spengler
All belongs to all. All things are for all men, since all men have need of them, since all men have worked in the measure of their strength to produce them, and since it is not possible to evaluate every one's part in the production of the world's wealth. All things are for all. View quote
Peter Kropotkin
If thou desire to purchase honor with thy wealth, consider first how that wealth became thine; if thy labor got it, let thy wisdom keep it; if oppression found it, let repentance restore it; if thy parent left it, let thy virtues deserve it; so shall thy honor be safer, better and cheaper. View quote
Francis Quarles
What money creates, money preserves if thy wealth decays, thy honor dies it is but a slippery happiness which fortunes can give, and frowns can take and not worth the owning which a night's fire can melt, or a rough sea can drown. View quote
Francis Quarles
Nine keys to contentment Health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support your needs. Strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them. Grace enough to confess your sins and forsake them. Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished. Charity enough to see some good in your neighbors. Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others. Faith enough to make real things of God. Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future. View quote
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wealth and speed are what the world admires, what each pursues. Railways, express mails, steamships and every possible facility for communications are the achievement in which the civilized world view and revels, only to languish in mediocrity by that very fact. Indeed, the effect of this diffusion is to spread the culture of the mediocre. View quote
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The wealth that cannot be administered is a burden. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Proud over the rest, with splendid wealth arrayed, As crown to this wide empire, Europe's head, Fair Lusitania smiles, the western bound, Whose verdant breast the rolling waves surround. View quote
Luís de Camões
Of the five most important things in life, health is first, education or knowledge is second, and wealth is third. I forget the other two. View quote
Chuck Berry
Mrs. Clinton's riches are not capitalism's reward for hard work. Hillary has accrued wealth by using the predatory political process to wield power over others. View quote

A balanced-budget requirement implies is that government has the constitutional right to spend as much as it takes in; that government is permitted to waste however much revenue it can extract from wealth producers, and that the bums must merely bring into balance what was stolen (taxes) with what is squandered (spending).
