The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.
The most valuable wealth of a man is his knowledge, which cannot be destroyed; all other riches that he has gained are not considered to be wealth at all.
The value of a man is in his intrinsic qualities: in that of which power cannot strip him and which adverse fortune cannot take away. That for which he is indebted to circumstances is mere trapping and tinsel.
The quantity of a man's wealth will not last long if his generous nature is not balanced with the size of his property.
Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
Wealth after all is a relative thing since he that has little and wants less is richer than he that has much and wants more.
Many men are contemptuous of riches; few can give them away.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
The real duty of man is not to extend his power or multiply his wealth beyond his needs, but to enrich and enjoy his imperishable possession: his soul.
Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to reach his goals.
