I like to walk about among the beautiful things that adorn the world; but private wealth I should decline, or any sort of personal possessions, because they would take away my liberty.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is not good to demonstrate your luxury and your wealth: to rub it in the faces of others is insulting. So you should be modest; try not to insult people by showing that you can do what they cannot.
The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.
Liberty is the only thing you can't have unless you give it to others.
I am not a person who pursues luxury. I am not like those people who, once they have money, compulsively squander it or show it off.
My wealth is not a subject I relish discussing.
Liberty: One of Imagination's most precious possessions.
It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.
The only question with wealth is, what do you do with it?
I don't have the luxury of doing things privately.
I take pride in the creation of my wealth, in its existence and in the uses to which it has been and is being put.
