Riches
 
  Riches are like muck which stinks in a heap, but spread abroad, make the earth fruitful.
            —Anonymous		  1
Riches, like insects, while concealed they lie,
Wait but for wings, and in their season fly.
            —Alexander Pope		  2
  Worldly riches are like nuts; many clothes are torn in getting them, many a tooth broken in cracking them, but never a belly filled with eating them.
            —Ralph Venning		  3
