"To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it."

Among the very rich you will never find a really generous man, even by accident. They may give their money away, but they will never give themselves away; they are egoistic, secretive, dry as old bones. To be smart enough to get all that money you must be dull enough to want it.

-- G.K. Chesterton
