Frequently Asked Questions

What does this "wealth" quotes page explore?
These quotes look at wealth from several angles -- personal observation, economic history, and political opinion. One quote offers a personal observation: "In Mexico, wealth and poverty live next to each other and are cordial with each other - in my experience." For more, see our Money quotes page.
Is there a quote connecting wealth to a particular way of life or system?
Yes -- one quote credits a broader system for prosperity: "History shows that our way of life is the stronger way. From it has come more wealth, more industry, more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way." It's presented here as that speaker's own view of history. See our Great quotes page for more.
Does this collection include a quote critical of concentrated wealth?
Yes -- one quote frames the labor movement itself as a response to it: "it is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth." This is presented strictly as that speaker's own political opinion, not a fact this page asserts.
Is there a quote warning about wealth inequality?
Yes -- one quote makes the case directly: "If in a country, most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few, then this country can hardly witness harmony and stability." Like the labor-movement quote above, this reflects that speaker's own stated opinion on inequality, not a position this page is taking. Browse more on our Government quotes page.
