Wealthy Quotations
Wealthy Quotes from:
-
Countries Quotes
The invention of the micro-loan was a big surprise to me. Who would have guessed loans of less than $20 made to poor people in undeveloped countries could create thriving local economies? And, even more surprisingly, that they more reliably pay off their debts than the wealthy of the world.
-
Areas Quotes
There's no reason why children in inner cities or rural areas do not receive the same quality education or opportunities as those in suburbs or wealthy neighborhoods. If we truly believe in giving all citizens a chance to pursue happiness and pursue their goals, then we cannot continue to marginalize entire groups of people.
-
Break Quotes
I'm focused on the next generation, because I think it's very hard to break the habit of adults who've got salt and sugar addictions and just ways of being in this world. It's very hard even for the most enlightened people at famous universities that are very wealthy to spend the money that it takes to feed the students something delicious.
-
Lived Quotes
I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A.
-
Allies Quotes
No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President, I never will.
-
Business Quotes
The profession is never going back to those days when a handful of wealthy people treated publishing like a hobby: one where the business can lose money because the family has lots of it to burn. Frankly, I don't think that model was ever sustainable, and it really only enriched a small number of writers.
-
Admiring Quotes
For generations, Americans who aren't rich have been generous and admiring of their wealthy compatriots - want a country where people who work hard can succeed, where the same rules apply to everyone. They expect to have their own shot at getting rich. But increasingly, they are seeing that the game is rigged.
-
Bends Quotes
Wealthy companies set new records in political contributions to buy this veto. Schwarzenegger bends whichever the way the corporate winds blow. Just a few weeks ago, the Restaurant Association, a major opponent of the bill, hosted a fund-raiser for Schwarzenegger in Los Angeles. Coincidence? I don't think so.
-
Elected Quotes
When I grew up in India, telephones were a rarity. In fact, they were so rare that elected members of Parliament had the right to allocate 15 telephone lines as a favor to those they deemed worthy. If you were lucky enough to be a wealthy businessman or an influential journalist, or a doctor or something, you might have a telephone.
-
Affordable Quotes
Luxury Institute researchers found most luxury brands in the writing instruments category, as in the luxury watches category, to be niche brands, with 1% to 4% awareness among the wealthy, and in many cases, known only to connoisseurs. Still, the holy grail of a luxury brand is a Harry Winston, or a Rolls Royce, brands that are known to the majority of wealthy consumers, but are affordable by only a few. That feat requires brilliant products, and even more brilliant marketing skills.
-
America Quotes
Leave the old and dying America and use your creative energies to help form a new America, which would be de-militarized, more humanistic, where the police are less hostile and closer to the community, where the wealthy are not given unleashed power for the exploitation of the people.
-
Appears Quotes
Nearly every rescued person, temporary resident of the Superdome, looter or loiterer on the high ground of the freeway I saw on TV was African-American. And from the look of it, they weren't wealthy residents of the Garden District. This storm appears to have hurt blacks more directly than whites, but the broadcasters scarcely mentioned that fact.
-
Free Quotes
One of the real things that impressed me the most about Dr. Flores is that he's at a ninety-three percent free and reduced lunch school. So that tells you that people aren't very wealthy in that area. Yet, ninety percent of all the students went to college. Tells me a lot about him. I'm thoroughly impressed with him, and I think he's going to do us a great job.
-
Along Quotes
Cell phones, to me, are a joke. When we grew up we had a party line for six homes, meaning you had to wait for everyone else from the other five homes to be off the line before you could make a call. You know what? Society seemed to get along fine. When you got your own telephone land line, it was like you were a wealthy person.
-
Budget Quotes
Bush's budget wants us to declare that we should keep channeling ever more of the nation's wealth to those who are already the most wealthy, and to fund it by taking money from education, the poor, the disabled and from the impoverished elderly. That is the naked meaning of his never-ending tax cuts for the wealthy and his program cuts for the weak.
-
Ball Quotes
If the '80s were about Christian Lacroix ball gowns, the '90s give us wealthy women who either go to work or pretend to, and want office suits or slip dresses they can wear to dinner parties - ergo, the minimalism of Prada, Jil Sander, and others. But this is minimalism that comes at maximal prices.
-
Built Quotes
It is pretty much for the wealthy in the sense if you have over $1 million in assets, you've got to have some other things you're doing to keep the government's hands off the money in the process. Of course, the first element of the big estate plan is the will. There may be trusts, some other things built into that. That's not for everybody. It is something you kind of need to think through.

Both Quotes
Ritz-Carlton had the highest number of wealthy consumers reporting stays in the past 18 months (26.9%), with Four Seasons second (21.6 %). However, Mandarin Oriental, with only 5.1% reported stays, received the highest Customer Experience Index score, 89, edging out Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, both at 87.
