    The quote "Money can't buy you happiness, but can help you live comfortably in misery" is attributed to Clare Boothe Luce.

    Clare was an American writer, politician, diplomat, and public conservative figure (novelist, playwright, politician, diplomat, and advisor to presidents) who served and enriched her country in many fields. A versatile author, she is best known for her 1936 hit play "The Women," which had an all-female cast. Her writings extended from drama and screen scenarios to fiction, journalism, and war reportage.
