The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away.

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.

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.

Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

All wealth consists of desirable things; that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly: but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth.

The glory that goes with wealth is fleeting and fragile; virtue is a possession glorious and eternal.

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

Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.
