I'm a rich man, but I don't want to be a miser. — © Chen Guangbiao
I'm a rich man, but I don't want to be a miser.
In my opinion, every rich man is a miser.
A miser grows rich by seeming poor. An extravagant man grows poor by seeming rich.
A miser grows rich by seeming poor; an extravagant man grows poor by seeming rich.
When I found out my mother wanted me to marry a rich man, I instantly didn't want any rich man.
In Utopia, where every man has a right to everything, they all know that if care is taken to keep the public stores full, no private man can want anything; for among them there is no unequal distribution, so that no man is poor, none in necessity; and though no man has anything, yet they are all rich; for what can make a man so rich as to lead a serene and cheerful life, free from anxieties.
I never met a rich man who was happy, but I have only very occasionally met a poor man who did not want to become a rich man.
Oh, I wish I were a miser; being a miser must be so occupying.
Rich, 'the Old Man said dreamily, 'is not baying after what you can't have. Rich is having the time to do what you want to do. Rich is a little whiskey to drink and some food to eat and a roof over your head and a fish pole and a boat and a gun and a dollar for a box of shells. Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got.
There are many kinds of richness, and the man who is rich because of money is the lowest as far as the categories of richness are concerned. Let me say it in this way: the man of wealth is the poorest rich man. Looked at from the side of the poor, he is the richest poor man. Looked at from the side of a creative artist, of a dancer, of a musician, of a scientist, he is the poorest rich man. And as far as the world of ultimate awakening is concerned he cannot even be called rich.
Rich honesty dwells like a miser, Sir, in a poor house; as your pearl in your foul oyster.
While the miser is merely a capitalist gone mad, the capitalist is a rational miser.
Someday I want to be rich. Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.
No man can tell if he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
The miser is as much in want of what he has as of what he has not.
If it be true that a man is rich who wants nothing, a wise man is a very rich man.
That was always my experience-a poor boy in a rich town; a poor boy in a rich boy's school; a poor boy in a rich man's club at Princeton .... However, I have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works.
