If all men were rich, all men would be poor

Summary

This quote implies that if everyone in society became wealthy, the value and significance of wealth would diminish. In this scenario, being rich would no longer provide any relative advantage or superiority, as there would be no comparative measure of wealth. Consequently, the quote suggests that the concept of being wealthy would lose its meaning, resulting in a collective state of "poverty" where no one holds a substantial advantage over others.
