I've been rich and I've been poor, and rich is better.

Rich is my word for someone who can afford to make choices, who has enough resources to do more than merely survive.

I am richer than you, therefore my wealth is superior to yours’; and ‘I am a better speaker, therefore my diction is better than yours.’ But you are neither wealth nor diction.

I’m rich! I don’t mean money-wise. I mean that I have figured out how to never be around assholes at any time in my personal and professional life. That’s rich.

I am richer than you, therefore my property is greater than yours;” “I am more eloquent than you, therefore my style is better than yours.” But you, after all, are neither property nor style.

These reasonings do not cohere: I am richer than you, therefore I am better than you; I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better than you. On the contrary these rather cohere, I am richer than you, therefore my possessions are greater than yours: I am more eloquent than you, therefore my speech is superior to yours. But you are neither possession nor speech.

People don’t want to be rich. They want to be able to choose. The richer you are, the more choices you have. That is the freedom of money.

It is not actual suffering but the taste of better things which excites people to revolt.

Prefer being rejected at your new standard than being accepted at your old one.

You can be rich by having more than you need, or by needing less than you have. — JIM MOTT

No es razonar con coherencia decir: «Soy más rico que tú, por lo tanto soy mejor que tú; soy más brillante que tú, entonces soy superior a ti». Para razonar más coherentemente es preciso decir: «Soy más rico que tú, pues mis bienes son mayores que los tuyos; soy más brillante que tú, pues mis discursos tienen mayor valor que los tuyos». Ya que tú no eres, ciertamente, ni riqueza, ni elocuación.

Think it more satisfactory to live richly than to die rich

The question to contemplate is: Who is wealthier, the one with money or the one who serves?

It is better to live rich than to die rich.
