Jean-Jacques Rousseau Riches Quotations

The person who has lived the most is not the one who has lived the longest, but the one with the richest experiences

Luxury either comes of riches or makes them necessary; it corrupts at once rich and poor, the rich by possession and the poor by covetousness.

...in respect of riches, no citizen shall ever be wealthy enough to buy another, and none poor enough to be forced to sell himself.

Money is the seed of money, and the first guinea is sometimes more difficult to acquire than the second million.
