For me, as I suspect for most people, there comes a point where you have enough. If you've got £20 million, why keep going until you've got £100 million or £1,000 million? Does anyone need another vast yacht or private jet or a house full of gold?
There is something inherently wrong with having to pay a bank to give you your own money.
These numerous points at which money is withdrawn from circulation and accumulated in numerous individual hoards or potential money-capitals appears as so many obstacles to circulation, because they immobilise the money and deprive it of its capacity to circulate for a certain time.
What I usually do is hoard money - I accumulate as much as possible in the fear of not having enough to pay tax.
The avarice of the miser may be termed the grand sepulchral of all his other passions, as they successively decay.
If that doomsday scenario happens, will it help if you have heaps of paper money? I don't think so.
My God, I don't know anyone who likes to accumulate their wealth more than the Europeans.
If I like chocolate it won't surprise you that I have a few chocolates in my fridge, but if you find out I've got 16 warehouses full of chocolate, you'd think I was insane. All these rich guys are insane, obsessive compulsive twits obsessed with money - money is all they think about - they're all nuts.
No Man is richer for having his Estate all in Money, Plate, etc. lying by him, but on the contrary, he is for that reason the poorer.
