| Quotations: 4 | Pages: 1


by Benjamin Franklin
(January 17, 1706 - April 17, 1790)

Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.

by Benjamin Franklin
(January 17, 1706 - April 17, 1790)

Our necessities never equal our wants.

by Jonathan Swift
(November 30, 1667 - October 19, 1745)

The stoical scheme of supplying our wants by lopping off our desires, is like cutting off our feet when we want shoes.

by Ralph Waldo Emerson
(May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882)

Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.
