There is no real wealth but the labor of man.

Inherited wealth, that is not what America is based upon.

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.

For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.

I have always felt intuitively that somehow such wealth cannot be the privy of any one person or any one family.

I don't like inherited wealth.

I believe wealth should be in the hands of those who know how to create more wealth.

Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.

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 consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
