Great wealth breeds great arrogance.

The petty economies of the rich are just as amazing as the silly extravagances of the poor.

How quickly pettiness returns, and that most ignoble form of real estate, the possessive occupation and tyranny over two square inches of human flesh, the wife's cunt.

Excess of wealth is cause of covetousness.

With the increase of wealth the mania of covetousness increases.

In public, as well as in private expences, great wealth may, perhaps, frequently be admitted as an apology for great folly.

Trivia and pettiness consume mankind, surely the most pretentious creation of all.

The greater the wealth the thicker will be the dirt.

It is the wretchedness of being rich that you have to live with rich people.

Many first possess wealth, and are then possessed by it.

Wealth brings a heavy purse; poverty, a light spirit.

Hence a rather excessive politeness, such as the man who sets much store on breeding exhibits to those who may at any moment, even in a fraction of a syllable, prove themselves his inferiors.

Since biblical times, and probably before, the wealthy have been envied and condemned.

You seem to have great possessions! How else can this be, but that you have preferred your own enjoyment to the consolation of the many? For the more you abound in wealth, the more you lack in love.
