Quotation #40291 from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

There is some magic in wealth, which can thus make persons pay their court to it, when it does not even benefit themselves. How strange it is, that a fool or knave, with riches, should be treated with more respect by the world, than a good man, or a wise man in poverty!
Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
English writer and pioneer of the gothic novel (1764 - 1823)
