Nouveau riche & vieux riche
"The prejudice can be seen to express the differences between the behaviour that keeps old money (caution, discretion) and that which gains new wealth (aggression, chance-taking)." |

Thank you for making me nouveau riche. |

I think, with Obama and the progressives, you've seen a massive expansion of big government, and it's all based on a moral premise. The moral premise is that wealth is theft. And I don't just mean the wealth of America, I mean, your wealth, my wealth. |

Prejudice is a chain, it can hold you. If you prejudice, you can't move, you keep prejudice for years. Never get nowhere with that. |
| Frank Gaffney |
History demonstrates that previous military drawdowns invited aggression by our enemies. After World War I, America drew down forces until the U.S. Army had fewer than 100,000 men in uniform. That weakness invited Nazi aggression in Europe and the imperial Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor. |

He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all. |
| Gilbert K. Chesterton |
The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective. |
| Michael Ignatieff |
Free societies, which allow differences to speak and be heard, and live by intermarriage, commerce, and free migration, and democratic societies, which convert enemies into adversaries and reconcile differences without resort to violence, are societies in which the genocidal temptation is unlikely and even inconceivable. |
| Marian Wright Edelman |
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee. |
| Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa |
I've never read 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,' although I certainly know what that is. And what I love about that concept is as much as it's a zombie story, it's also 'Pride and Prejudice.' |

The difference between the Parthenon and the World Trade Center, between a French wine glass and a German beer mug, between Bach and John Philip Sousa, between Sophocles and Shakespeare, between a bicycle and a horse, though explicable by historical moment, necessity, and destiny, is before all a difference of imagination. |

Psychoanalysts, too, have offered sociological explanations. Fenichel offered one based on Marxist
theory, which may seem odd in post cold war America where 40% of the population invest in the stock
market. ?One gains the impression? he wrote, ? that this quite general characterization of money matters
as ?indelicate? must fulfill a special function in the social ideology. This function must be a negative one:
ignorance about financial matters and the effort to repress them as much as possible, lead to illusions

Another psychological approach to understanding people?s involvement with money was offered in
a financial magazine. This article (Sullivan, 1994) presented a classification of money personalities based
on a survey of 2,000 people?s ?inner financial life.? It divided people into seven personality
classifications as follows: 1) Hunters, who are characterized by an aggressive attitude toward the making
spending and investing of money and who tend to have unsettled personal lives and a higher than average

Two U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told Associated Press that the video released by the Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, showing militants beheading American journalist James Foley, ?appears to be authentic.?
The U.S. officials added that President Barack Obama had been briefed about the video and an official confirmation from the White House is expected later on Wednesday.
U.S. National Security Council Spokesperson Caitlin Hayden, in a statement released Tuesday, said that intelligence officials were working ?as quickl...

the world is spiraling quickly to an even wider and more apparent gap in wealth .those who get the money now are going to set themselves and their families up for a better life in the next 100 years. those who stay poor, like me and almost everyone i know, will find it difficult to switch classes in the future. pick your side.

Despite common wisdom to the effect that money can?t buy happiness it is certain that many people
believe that enough money could make them happier than they are. Many people squander huge amounts
of time and energy, thinking about and trying to acquire money because of this belief. Even when they
are reasonably well off, people often make increasing acquisition and control of money a higher priority
than either self actualization or cultivation of relationships - leading to many of the personal and

In this author?s experience, patients will rarely bring up money issues unless the therapist is willing
to focus attention on them him /or herself. There is only one kind of therapy where discussion of money
and how we relate to it, and to each other because of it, often comes up: marital therapy. It comes up
there because disagreements over money and stresses connected to it are the most common reasons for
marital discord. That, to a significant extent, is the result of the money taboo which results in lack of

Having a bunch of money helps one live in cities and culture but thats what im calling out. I want to save enough money to get the supplies I need to live off of the grid or however you want to phrase it. But I don't believe I need to use that money to get there, it just would allow me to get certain materials / tools faster.

its important we take the word 'need' out of our vocabulary when it comes to money. we dont need money in any form, and saying so even when we dont mean it, ingrains it into our mind. however, despite wanting the money that i get from my job - i cant help but feel like i have something better to be doing

In 1908 Freud identified money with feces and mad a connection of money to anal eroticism. He
also wrote (1917) of the unconscious, symbolic connection of money, through transformation of the
instincts, with penises, babies and gifts. Ferenczi (1952) wrote about the ontogenesis of the interest in
money as a progression from interest in feces though increasingly sublimated interests in mud, sand,
prettily shaped and colored pebbles, more sophisticated collectibles and finally money. According to
