Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You cannot afford a world with slavery, which literally takes someone and turns them into a machine.
The wealthy have never liked to pay for the labor that enriches them. Ever since slavery was eliminated, they have been trying to keep it as close to slavery as they can without violating the slave laws.
Slavery, properly so called, is the establishment of a right which gives to one man such a power over another as renders him absolute master of his life and fortune.
It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.
Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
Wealth is the ultimate panacea to poverty.
If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free; if our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.
Money is not wealth. Money is a claim on wealth.
Having enough money has to go hand in hand with living in a way that you're not being a slave to your possessions.
Slavery is the first step towards civilization. In order to develop it is necessary that things should be much better for some and much worse for others, then those who are better off can develop at the expense of others.
