3 Edmund Burke Quotes on Wealth

Edmund Burke quotes on wealth

88. Frugality is founded on the principle that all riches have limits.

138. The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends most to the perpetuation of society itself. It makes our weakness subservient to our virtue; it grafts benevolence even upon avarice. The possession of family wealth and of the distinction which attends hereditary possessions (as most concerned in it,) are the natural securities for this transmission.

150. If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free; if our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.
