"I know that a man who shows me his wealthis like the beggar who shows me his poverty;
they are both looking for alms from me, the
rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor
man for the alms of my guilt."

Monday's Quote
An insightful comment from the hardnosed newspaperman and screenwriter Ben Hecht (1894-1964):
"I know that a man who shows me his wealth
is like the beggar who shows me his poverty;
they are both looking for alms from me, the
rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor
man for the alms of my guilt."
"I know that a man who shows me his wealthis like the beggar who shows me his poverty;
they are both looking for alms from me, the
rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor
man for the alms of my guilt."
