Gilbert K. Chesterton Rich Quotations

The poor complain that they are governed badly. The rich complain that they are governed at all.

It is really not so repulsive to see the poor asking for money as to see the rich asking for more money. And advertisement is the rich asking for more money.

The rich are the scum of the earth in every country.

All but the hard hearted man must be torn with pity for this pathetic dilemma of the rich man, who has to keep the poor man just stout enough to do the work and just thin enough to have to do it.

Modern broad-mindedness benefits the rich; and benefits nobody else.
