Greed and Wealth

A rich man lives an uncomfortable life, as he is always afraid to lose his riches. The wealthier he is, the more worries he will have. A rich man can meet and be friends only with the rich, because he cannot be a real friend to the poor, for then the sin of his wealth will be too obvious.

The rich who give to charities are hypocrites, as the very money they give is often snatched from the hands of even poorer people.

Everywhere I look, I see the conspiracy of the rich, who, under the pretext of helping the poor, seek out any advantage and profit only for themselves.

— SIR THOMAS MORE
