Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.

There are many definite methods, honest and dishonest, which make people rich; the only ''instinct'' I know of which does it is that instinct which theological Christianity crudely describes as ''the sin of avarice.''

Wealth is an inborn attitude of mind, like poverty. The pauper who has made his pile may flaunt his spoils, but cannot wear them plausibly.

Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.

But Satan now is wiser than of yore, and tempts by making rich, not making poor.

A rich widow weeps with one eye and signals with the other.

A great fortune in the hands of a fool is a great misfortune.

As the person who has health is young, so the person who owes nothing is rich.

What difference does it make how much you have? What you do not have amounts to much more.

For Wealth are all things that conduce, to one's destruction or their use. A standard both to buy and sell, all things from heaven down to hell.
