One of the conditions of citizenship is not to think too much about money, and the only way not to think about money is to have a great deal of it." "You might as well say that the only way not to think about air is to have enough to breathe. That is true enough in a sense; but your lungs are thinking about the air, if you are not. And so it is with your rich people-they may not be thinking of money, but they're breathing it all the while; take them into another element and see how they squirm and gasp!
( Edith Wharton )
