Famous quotes containing the word wealth:

—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Power is not of a man. Wealth does not center in the person of the wealthy. Celebrity is not inherent in any personality. To be celebrated, to be wealthy, to have power requires access to major institutions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
“The first wealth is health.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
