“Were all the pleasures in the world, even pure air, made solely for the rich? I think it is immoral - it is horrible! - that one man may own twenty millions of money, and another has to commit a crime to keep the life in his miserable body. And if I were wealthy, I'd be a spendthrift! It's the spendthrifts who are the real friends of the poor. Some of their money filters through to the very lowest classes.” IfsThinkingMenWorldMayMadeRealBodyWealthPleasurePoorClassMillionsRichAirCrimePureTwentiesHorribleCommitMiserableWealthyOne ManLowestReal FriendsImmoralFiltersSpendthrift Author:Ellen Buckingham Mathews
