Quote

It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.

Riches are not forbidden, but the pride of them is.

Riches get their value from the mind of the possessor; they are blessings to those who know how to use them, and curses to those who do not.

I have no riches but my thoughts. Yet these are wealth enough for me.

People want riches; they need fulfillment.

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

Riches do not delight us so much with their possession, as torment us with their loss.

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

Ordinary riches can be stolen; real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

Riches do not consist in the possession of treasures, but in the use made of them.
