"Wealth per se I never too much valued, and my acquaintance with its possessors has by no means increased my veneration for it."

They say of me, and so they should, It's doubtful if I come to good. I see acquaintances and friends Accumulating dividends And making enviable names In science, art and parlor games. But I, despite expert advice, Keep doing things I think are nice, And though to good I never come Inseparable my nose and thumb.

— Dorothy Parker
