Money and Wealth
Anthony Burgess
One goes on writing partly because it is the only available way of earning a living. It is a hard way and highly competitive. My heart drops into my bowels when I enter a bookshop and see how fierce the competition is. But one pushes on because one has to pay bills.

Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz, My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.

Harry S. Truman
It’s a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it’s a depression when you lose yours.

George Bernard Shaw
Do not waste your time on Social Questions. What is the matter with the poor is Poverty: what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness.

George Bernard Shaw
In his efforts to escape from ugliness and unhappiness the rich man intensifies both. Every new yard of West End creates a new acre of East End.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Possessions delude the human heart into believing that they provide security and a worry-free existence, but in truth they are the very cause of worry.
