Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
He is the richest man who enriches his country most; in whom the people feel richest and proudest; who gives himself with his money; who opens the doors of opportunity widest to those about him; who is ears to the deaf, eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame.
Wealth after all is a relative thing since he that has little and wants less is richer than he that has much and wants more.
He works his business and manipulates and keeps himself in front of the world.
He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.
No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth.
The few men who possess the wealth of the material things of the earth at the present time are not truly happy.
He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.
What matters poverty? What matters anything to him who is enamoured of our art? Does he not carry in himself every joy and every beauty?
He does not possess wealth; it possesses him.
