“You can be young without money, but you can’t be old without it”. - Quotes by Oscar Wilde
“If property had simply pleasures, we could stand it; but its duties make it unbearable. In the interest of the rich we must get rid of it. We are often told that the poor are grateful for charity. Some of them are, no doubt, but the best amongstthe poor are never grateful. They are ungrateful, discontented, disobedient, and rebellious. They are quite right to be so. As for the virtuous poor, one can pity them, of course, but one cannot possibly admire them. They have made private terms with the enemy, and sold their birthright for very bad pottage. To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less”.
