About This Quote
Rich men have dreams. Poor men die to make them come true. was the title of a popular song written by Paul Williams and performed by Frank Sinatra in 1963. It was later used as the title for his autobiography.
The song was inspired by the story of millionaire Gatsby and how he was able to build a dream house. The lyrics tell about how the man who was so rich and yet did not have a meaningful life, built a mansion and had everything he needed but did not have the inner richness that would bring him happiness. Some people think that if they were rich and had everything they wanted, they would be happy.
Others believe that money does not buy happiness. This quote is full of meaning and can serve as a good reminder for those who live their lives only for the sake of obtaining money, without taking time to enjoy what they already have or making plans for what they want to do in the future.
