For the rich man to enter into heaven!'

“When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?”

Don Marquis (1878–1937) American writer

“Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humoured, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich — that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.”

Henry Fielding (1707–1754) English novelist and dramatist

“Let us have Men, Men who will say a word to their souls and keep it — keep it not when it is easy, but keep it when it is hard”

Voltairine de Cleyre (1866–1912) American anarchist writer and feminist

keep it when the storm roars and there is a white-streaked sky and blue thunder before, and one's eyes are blinded and one's ears deafened with the war of opposing things; and keep it under the long leaden sky and the gray dreariness that never lifts. Hold unto the last: that is what it means to have a Dominant Idea, which Circumstance cannot break. And such men make and unmake Circumstance.
