“Unlike money, hope is all: for the rich as well as for the poor.”

““The poor and the middle class work for money.” “The rich have money work for them.””

“No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.”

“Never talk rich, never talk poor, never talk money.”

“It is right to be forward in the defence of the poor; no system that is not just as between rich and poor can hope to survive.”

“It is extremely unlikely that I will ever be one of the richest people in the world. Almost all rich people were born rich, and almost all of them marry other rich people, and almost all of them hold onto almost all of their money, to pass on to their kids. Money doesn't appear out of nowhere—the more they have, the less for me. Life is a "zero sum game," and I am the zero.”

“There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor.”

“Conservatives say if you don't give the rich more money, they will lose their incentive to invest. As for the poor, they tell us they've lost all incentive because we've given them too much money.”

“In the final analysis, the rich must not ignore the poor because both rich and poor are tied in a single garment of destiny. All life is interrelated, and all men are interdependent. The agony of the poor diminishes the rich, and the salvation of the poor enlarges the rich. We are inevitably our brothers' keeper because of the interrelated structure of reality.”

“Well, there's one thing to be said for money. It can make you rich.”
