I think I probably have the philosophy of a poor man. You know, like maybe I'd steal the pennies off a dead man's eyes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I'm probably a very sad man wrapped in a very joyful package, and I think I'm very resilient, and I think I'm quite generous, sometimes to a fault. And I'm very bad with money, but I don't see that too much of a flaw.
If any man, out of an humour, should turn all his Estate into Money, and keep it dead, he would soon be sensible of Poverty growing upon him, whilst he is eating out of the quick stock.
A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.
It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.
The fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still.
I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt.
A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.
By desiring little, a poor man makes himself rich.
If poverty were a man, I would have slain him.
And, I believe that if a man dies with a single penny still sitting in the bank, he's a fool.
