Quote by Sean O'Casey

Wealth often takes away chances from men as well as poverty. There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.

Wealth often takes away chances from men as well as poverty.

Summary

This quote suggests that wealth can have negative consequences, just like poverty. It highlights that when someone becomes wealthy, they possess the power to shape their own life and even influence the laws that govern society. However, this power can sometimes hinder personal growth and development, as there may be no external forces pushing the wealthy individual to continue striving for success. Ultimately, it implies that both poverty and excessive wealth can limit opportunities and hinder personal progress.
