Plenty makes dainty!

~~~~~~~
Riches are a good handmaiden, but the worst mistress.
~~~~~~~
Riches are deservedly despised by a man of honor, because a well-stored chest intercepts the truth. [Lat., Opes invisae merito sunt forti viro, Quia dives arca veram laudem intercipit.]
~~~~~~~
Riches are gotten with pain, kept with care, and lost with grief. The cares of riches lie heavier upon a good man than the inconveniences of an honest poverty.
~~~~~~~
Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.
~~~~~~~
Riches seldom make their owners rich.
~~~~~~~
Riches, the incentives to evil, are dug out of the earth. [Lat., Effodiuntur opes irritamenta malorum.]
~~~~~~~
Science, which cuts its way through the muddy pond of daily life without mingling with it, casts its wealth to right and left, but the puny boatmen do not know how to fish for it.
~~~~~~~
See what money can do: that can change Men’s manners; alter their conditions! How tempestuous the slaves are without it!
