When you have a spiritual foundation, you look at poverty differently then.

If you've lost your spirit, even living in the richest country in the world can't help you become rich.

We regard wealth as something to be properly used, rather than as something to boast about. As for poverty, no one need be ashamed to admit it: the real shame is in not taking practical measures to escape from it.

It's better to have a rich soul than to be rich.

The belief that we can rely on shortcuts to happiness, joy, rapture, comfort, and ecstasy, rather than be entitled to these feelings by the exercise of personal strengths and virtues, leads to legions of people who, in the middle of great wealth, are starving spiritually.

Many people aren't rich because they're liars.

All the riches of the world are not of sufficient value to redeem one perishing soul.

There is a noble manner of being poor, and who does not know it will never be rich.

All of the religions are looking after the poor. At least leave me alone to look after the rich. I am the rich man's guru.

Riches cannot be gathered without sin and evil means.
