"Among the Very Rich you will never find a really generous man, even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egoistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it."
G. K. Chesterton
"It was the mystical dogma of Bentham and Adam Smith and
the rest, that some of the worst of human passions would turn out to be all for
the best. It was the mysterious doctrine that selfishness would do the work of
unselfishness." G.K. Chesterton
"Every evil, harm and suffering in this life comes from
the love of riches."
St. Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church
