The real duty of man is not to extend his power or multiply his wealth beyond his needs, but to enrich and enjoy his imperishable possession: his soul.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The value of a man is in his intrinsic qualities: in that of which power cannot strip him and which adverse fortune cannot take away. That for which he is indebted to circumstances is mere trapping and tinsel.
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
Tis a sort of duty to be rich, that it may be in one's power to do good, riches being another word for power.
A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself.
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 most luxurious possession, the richest treasure anybody has, is his personal dignity.
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself as greater than he is.
Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think.
He does not possess wealth; it possesses him.
