Rich people in poor places want to show off their wealth. And their less affluent counterparts feel pressure to fake it, at least in public. Nobody wants the stigma of being thought poor.

Rich people march on Washington every day.

Rich people never go to war. You ask a college kid to go to war, and he's like, 'Umm, I'm taking this sociology class, and I think war is, like, really stupid, and my roommate's, like, half Afghani, so it's going to cause some static.'
‐‐ Bill Burr
Rich people who own mansions on the beach shouldn't get federal subsidies. If you want to stay there, take the risk.
‐‐ Geraldo Rivera
Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.
‐‐ Solon
Rich, smart parents tend to have rich, smart kids - not because it's genetic but because they can create a home environment and sensory stimulation that lower-income kids often don't get.
‐‐ George Kaiser
Rich Swann is probably the only guy who's more charismatic among this whole bunch than me, and I think it showed in our match.
‐‐ T. J. Perkins
Richard Armitage is very good at the old horse riding because of course he did it in 'Robin Hood,' so he's very good at that.
‐‐ James Nesbitt
Richard Avedon is a true genius of photography and one of the greatest artists of our time.
‐‐ Donatella Versace
Richard Branson once said: 'Tony's very good at selling bands and he's very good at making television programmes. But he'll never be great at either, until he decides which one he wants to do.' I entirely accept that. That doesn't matter to me very much. I like the irony of the two lives.

Richard Burton came from the same town as me, so I thought I'd follow my nose, and follow my luck. I think I've been very lucky.
‐‐ Anthony Hopkins
Richard Burton is my number one idol. One, because we come from very similar backgrounds and two, because of his fantastic talent.
‐‐ Aneurin Barnard
Richard Burton is one of my heroes.
‐‐ Mark Shand
Richard Chamberlain on The Slipper and the Rose was lovely to work with. He wore the clothes so beautifully and sang his songs so well.
‐‐ Julie Harris
Richard Childress and myself have made some important innovations on our cars.
‐‐ Dale Earnhardt
Richard doesn't really like me to kill bugs, but sometimes I can't help it.
‐‐ Cindy Crawford
Richard Donner is one of the few directors in Hollywood that can make whatever movie he wants exactly the way he wants it. No one will stop him.
‐‐ Lana Wachowski
Richard Donner's friendship and guidance showed me that there's more to life than being an actor.
‐‐ Jeff Cohen
Richard Fliehr does not make any money.
‐‐ Ric Flair
Richard Gere's got this very old-school Hollywood charm. He has a presence that when he's in a room you just feel him. I mean, I'm married, but he's sexy!
‐‐ Odette Annable
Richard Holbrooke is known for many things, but I will remember him as an impressive, sometimes even intimidating diplomat who understood the value of culture in diplomacy.
‐‐ Cynthia P. Schneider
Richard Hugo taught me that anyone with a desire to write, an ear for language and a bit of imagination could become a writer. He also, in a way, gave me permission to write about northern Montana.
‐‐ James Welch
Richard III is not likeable. Macbeth is not likeable. Hamlet is not likeable. And yet you can't take your eyes off them. I'm far more interested in that than I am in any sort of likeability.
‐‐ Beau Willimon
Richard Julian was the one who told me to check out Cartola. Telling someone to check out Cartola is like telling someone to check out Tony Bennett, you know.
‐‐ Jesse Harris
Richard Kerry not only was a pilot in World War II, but was a civil servant. He did not come from money.
‐‐ Douglas Brinkley
Richard Leacock and I ran into a guy who knew how to carve up a camera, and we had him carve one up for us. We had him chop it down and change the gears from metal to plastic, which would cut down on the sound it made when it was running.
‐‐ Robert Drew
Richard Lester is a wonderful director, a great comedy director, of course.
‐‐ Malcolm McDowell
Richard Lewis has this incredible ability to look like he's just... you know it's an act that's been honed. What you have to do in standup is create spontaneity, somehow; even though you've done this act a million times, you gotta look like you're almost just thinking of it now, to make it entertainer.
‐‐ Artie Lange
Richard Lewis is the master at taking a joke that he's told a million times in a row in the past year, on the road, and making it look like he's pulling it out of thin air.
‐‐ Artie Lange
Richard M. Helms, the first director of Central Intelligence to rise from the ranks, was fond of saying that the CIA had been founded to make sure that there would never be another Pearl Harbor. Underlying this mission impossible was the wishful supposition that an America that knew everything could prevent anything.
‐‐ Charles McCarry
Richard M. Nixon honestly believed in his bones that an organized conspiracy of liberal media insiders had literally been plotting against him ever since he broke Alger Hiss in 1948 (he never shifted course, and lost his soul).
‐‐ Rick Perlstein
Richard Madden, I loved to work alongside him; he's a very funny man.
‐‐ Alfie Allen
Richard Marquand, on Jedi, was very much an actor's director.
‐‐ Peter Mayhew
Richard Nixon as a 12-year-old was given a portrait of Lincoln that he hung over his bed. Nixon also justified what would later be seen as abuses of power by comparing America in the Vietnam era to the country during the Civil War.
‐‐ Richard Norton Smith
Richard Nixon had a kind of Walter Mitty fantasy life. He was a man with a grandiose thoughts: dreams of not simply being president but maybe becoming one of the truly great presidents of American history.
‐‐ Robert Dallek
Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.
‐‐ Harry S Truman
Richard Nixon is very much a self-made man in the six years prior to his emergence as a national figure. Between the moment he's elected to Congress in 1946 and the moment he's inaugurated as Vice President in 1953, he conducts nothing less than a kind of prodigy of American political self-advancement.
‐‐ Roger Morris
Richard Nixon was a criminally insane Monster - Bill Clinton is a black-hearted Swine of a friend.
‐‐ Hunter S. Thompson
Richard Nixon was a very complex man. I don't think he was a conservative, nor liberal, not even a moderate. He was a pragmatic politician. He loved politics.
‐‐ Edward Brooke
Richard Nixon was an evil man - evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency.
‐‐ Hunter S. Thompson
Richard Nixon was the best thing that ever happened to journalism. I mean this guy was wonderful. Just when you thought he could get no worse, he got worse.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
Richard Pryor introduced me to the world of the inner city, and the urban world, and did it hysterically. My favorite comedian, even though we work 180 degrees differently, but funny is funny is funny.
‐‐ Bob Newhart
Richard Pryor is, in my mind, the most honest comedian. He bared his soul to people. I think that's why everybody loved him so much.
‐‐ Joe Rogan
Richard Schiff is a really good baseball player. It's surprising because he looks exhausted.
‐‐ Bradley Whitford
Richard Serra, the great sculptor, personifies an artist for me.
‐‐ Charlie Rose
Richard Wagner, a musician who wrote music which is better than it sounds.
‐‐ Richard Wagner
Richard was in heavy, heavy costume, he could hardly sit, you know, and I turned up and they put me in two layers of silk, so I played him much lighter - you know, floating around in a pair of slippers, a bit of a hippy.
‐‐ Michael Gambon
Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.
‐‐ David Wilkerson
Riches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
‐‐ Francis Bacon
Riches are chiefly good because they give us time.
