Quote

Wealth, beauty, and fame are transient. When those are gone, little is left except the need to be useful.

Where wealth is concerned, individuals aren't stuck in little boxes. You don't start out wealthy, stay wealthy, and end wealthy.

So when these people sell out, even though they get fabulously rich, they're gypping themselves out of one of the potentially most rewarding experiences of their unfolding lives. Without it, they may never know their values or how to keep their newfound wealth in perspective.

The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it.

A lot of wealthy people, they don't realize they have the alternatives of spending the money for good.

In the past there were people who were not rich but contented with their living style, laughing and happy all day. But when the new rich people appear, people look at them and ask, 'why don't I have a life like that too, a beautiful house, car and garden,' and they abandon their values.

There's a wealth gap that is happening, and that is all over the world, you know? The rich are getting richer and holding a higher percentage of money or wealth that's out there.

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

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