Many good qualities are not sufficient to balance a single want - the want of money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
Sincerity: willingness to spend one's own money.
But all the money in the world cannot make you happy either, so there has to be a balance.
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.
Many men are contemptuous of riches; few can give them away.
People want riches; they need fulfillment.
To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.
Values are more important than money.
