Wealth

Health is the greatest wealth. If you have health but no wealth, you can work to earn money. But if you have money but no health to enjoy it, all the money in the world is useless to you. Of course, your wealth could provide some luxury so you can suffer in comfort. But that is cold comfort. So, any sensible guy would choose health over wealth, wouldn’t he?

Wealth is not about how much money you have. It’s about how contented you are with the little you have. Riches are an instrument of life, and the virtue of an instrument lies in its use. If you manage your money well, having a little is enough. If you do not know how to manage your money, no amount of money is enough.

Titles, riches, and fine houses signify no more to the making of one man better than another, than the finer saddle to the making the better horse. - Wellins Calcott

If it is well with your belly, chest and feet, the wealth of kings can give you nothing more. - Horace

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled. - Barack Obama

It is a shame for a man to be a millionaire in possessions if he is not also a millionaire in beneficence. - Lyman Abbott

The wealthy seldom possess wealth: oftener they are possessed by it. - Ivan Panin

True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse. - Og Mandino

Wealth hath never given happiness, but often hastened misery. - Martin Farquhar Tupper

A man is rich whose income is larger than his expenses, and he is poor if his expenses are greater than his income. - Jean de la Bruyere

The fortunate man is he who, born poor, or nobody, works gradually up to wealth and consideration, and, having got them, dies before he finds they were not worth so much trouble. - Charles Reade

Great wealth may be to its owner a blessing or a curse. Alas! I fear it is too often the latter. It hardens the heart, blunts the finer susceptibilities, and transforms into a fiend what under more favourable circumstances might have been a human being. - Arnold Bennett
