If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free; if our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Money is not wealth. Money is a claim on wealth.
All wealth consists of desirable things; that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly: but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth.
Richness in the world is a result of other people's poverty. We should begin to shorten the abyss between haves and have-nots.
Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.
We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse.
There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.
It is a most certain truth, that the richer we see ourselves to be, confessing at the same time our poverty, the greater will be our progress, and the more real our humility.
The key to wealth is not what we earn. It is in what is spent on us.
