If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn'tget it, he's a never-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life.

American actress, singer and former Miss America

Vanessa Lynn Williams is an American singer, actress, and fashion designer. She initially gained recognition as the first African-American woman to receive the Miss America title when she was crowned Miss America 1984 in 1983. However, a scandal arose the following year when, a few weeks prior to the end of her reign, she learned that Penthouse magazine would publish nude photographs of her in an upcoming issue. Amid growing media controversy, she resigned as Miss America in July 1984 under pressure from the Miss America Organization and was replaced by the first runner-up: Miss New Jersey 1983, Suzette Charles. Thirty-two years later, Miss America CEO Sam Haskell offered Williams a public apology during the Miss America 2016 pageant for the events of 1984.
