What's dangerous is the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few individuals.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you'll only achieve small things.
Where wealth is concerned, individuals aren't stuck in little boxes. You don't start out wealthy, stay wealthy, and end wealthy.
Excess of wealth is cause of covetousness.
The danger is not so much in the economic structure of a society but in its intellectual structure.
If somebody has an extreme amount of wealth and is not using it for some good purpose, only for their own enjoyment or satisfaction, then clearly there's a moral failing in the world in which we live.
I have always felt intuitively that somehow such wealth cannot be the privy of any one person or any one family.
To me, wealth is the peace of mind you have, your family, your friends, your colleagues. Everything else is just money, and it really is funny how people pay so much attention to that.
Extreme poverty is extremely dangerous.
The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it.
Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures.
