Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it.
I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A.
I think when my parents were together, my family was too prosperous for our psychological health. Not that they were that rich, but I feel that usually inherited wealth causes psychological problems.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.
I think the perception of wealth and power is that things just become easier and easier when in reality as you raise the stakes things become more stressful.
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.
One of those things I never exactly cared for was that phobia of appearing to be rich. To become rich is a natural thing, a result of your work, that which you've done.
Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.
But wealth is a great means of refinement; and it is a security for gentleness, since it removes disturbing anxieties.
