Dorothy Parker quote

Dorothy Parker in the 1956 Paris Review:
At the moment, however, I like to think of Maurice Baring’s remark: “If you would know what the Lord God thinks of money, you have only to look at those to whom he gives it.” I realize that’s not much help when the wolf comes scratching at the door, but it’s a comfort.
Wikiquote:
Man and the Gospel (1865) by Thomas Guthrie "and you may know how little God thinks of money by observing on what bad and contemptible characters he often bestows it." 
“We may see the small Value God has for Riches, by the People he gives them to.” -- Alexander Pope (1727).
 And via MaxSpeak:
“In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, French economist Thomas Piketty documents how wealth is becoming concentrated in ever fewer hands. 
This might not be a problem, were it not that capital is increasingly owned by shitheads.” 
Harry Hutton
