For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many men are contemptuous of riches; few can give them away.
The quantity of a man's wealth will not last long if his generous nature is not balanced with the size of his property.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.
Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.
The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it.
Wealth often takes away chances from men as well as poverty. There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.
There is no real wealth but the labor of man.
Men become wise just as they become rich, more by what they save than by what they receive.
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.
