Birth and wealth together gezegde

Birth and wealth together have prevailed over virtue and talent in all ages

There is also an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents; for with these it would belong to the first class

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.

Denis Diderot (1713-1784)

Dygd kommer inte ur rikedom, utan... rikedom, och alla goda ting människan har... kommer ur dygden.

Virtue does not come from wealth, but. . . wealth, and every other good thing which men have. . . comes from virtue.

Sokrates (470 BC-399 BC)

Dygd

Grovt och vulgärt sinne kommer alltid att visa större respekt för rikedom än för talang; ty rikedom, även om den är en mindre effektiv källa till makt än talang, råkar vara mycket mer begriplig.

Gross and vulgar minds will always pay a higher respect to wealth than to talent; for wealth, although it be a far less efficient source of power than talent, happens to be far more intelligible

Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

There is...an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents.... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Aristokrati

Today we frankly recognize that democracy can be no more than aspiration, and have rule not so much by the people as by the cleverest people; not an aristocracy of birth, not a plutocracy of wealth, but a true meritocracy of talent.

Michael Young

If by saying that all men are born equal, you mean that they are equally born, it is true, but true in no other sense; birth, talent, labor, virtue, and providence, are forever making differences

Talent is no accident of birth. In today's society a good many people seem to have the idea that if one is born without talent, there is nothing he can do about it; they simply resign themselves to what they consider to be their fate. Consequently th

Money and mansions are not the only wealth. Hoard the wealth of the Spirit. Character is wealth; good conduct is wealth; and spiritual wisdom is wealth.

Atharva Veda

High birth is an accident, not a virtue.

Pietro Metastasio (1698-1782)

New Orleans is a rather poor city. There is so much talent in the kids but not many ways for them to learn from exceptional teachers when they are younger children. We start with kids ages 8 and 9.Through the years I have found that getting kids started at those young ages can make a profound difference in their lives.
