Wealth Quotes
-
Wealth and poverty; one is the parent of luxury and indolence, and the other of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent.
Plato
-
Wealth covers sin - the poor / Are naked as a pin.
Kassia
-
Your outer world of attitudes, wealth, work, relationships and health will always be a reflection of your inner attitudes of mind.
Brian Tracy
-
Your name or your body, what is dearer? Your body or your wealth, what is worthier?
Lao Tzu
-
Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.
Aristotle
-
For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward; of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.
Plato
-
A man's wealth can...also be measured by what he doesn't have and doesn't want. When he wants little, he is a rich man.
Bill Bonner
-
What right have you to take the word wealth, which originally meant well-being, and degrade and narrow it by confining it to certain sorts of material objects measured by money.
John Ruskin
-
The government can destroy wealth but it cannot create wealth, which is the product of labor and management working with creation.
Bill Murray
-
I had been hungry all the years- My noon had come, to dine- I, trembling, drew the table near And touched the curious wine. 'Twas this on tables I had seen When turning, hungry, lone, I looked in windows, for the wealth I could not hope to own. I did not know the ample bread, 'Twas so unlike the crumb The birds and I had often shared In Nature's diningroom. The plenty hurt me, 'twas so new,-- Myself felt ill and odd, As berry of a mountain bush Transplanted to the road. Nor was I hungry; so I found That hunger was a way Of persons outside windows, The entering takes away.
Emily Dickinson
