Those whose life is long still strive for gain, and for all mortals all things take second place to money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People who get trapped in the tunnel vision of making money think that is all there is to life.
Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life, and... the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know how to use.
Those who spend too fast never grow rich.
Fortunes are made, and disappear, over the lifetime of a single generation. Today, a person in essence takes his wealth from society just for the duration of his or her lifetime. The next generation has to create it anew.
People think money is life and your life is over if you lose it.
Most people who are successful don't keep their money. One of the rarest things in the world is to maintain success and integrity - the kinds of things that seem so easy just starting out. But that's the human predicament.
One of the strangest things about life is that the poor, who need the money the most, are the ones that never have it.
People want riches; they need fulfillment.
The true nature of all wealth is temporary; those who have wealth must here and now do good deeds that will live for a long time.
The true currency of life is time, not money, and we've all got a limited stock of that.
