Few rich men own their property; their property owns them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The possessions of the rich are stolen property.
Many men are contemptuous of riches; few can give them away.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
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.
The quantity of a man's wealth will not last long if his generous nature is not balanced with the size of his property.
A rich man can afford to be generous to many.
For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.
Many a man who pays rent all his life owns his own home; and many a family has successfully saved for a home only to find itself at last with nothing but a house.
Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.
