A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health.
A cause may be inconvenient, but it's magnificent. It's like champagne or high heels, and one must be prepared to suffer for it.

Excess of wealth is cause of covetousness.
I'm of those who believe that excesses in all matters are not a good idea, whether it's formation of bubbles, whether it's excess in the financial market, whether it's excess of inequality, it has to be watched, it has to be measured, and it has to be anticipated in terms of consequences.
Every time a person sacrifices himself for a larger injustice, it aids in the cycle of change.
