When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are things to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honor are things to be ashamed of.
Confucius
Our rich texture of racial, religious and political diversity will be a Godsend in the 21st century. Great rewards will come to those who can live together, learn together, work together, forge new ties that bind together.
William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton
If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free; if our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.
Edmund Burke
Nature didn't tell me Don't be poor; and certainly didn't say: Get rich; but she did shout: Always be independent!
Nicolas Chamfort
Machiavel says virtue and riches seldom settle on one man.
Robert Burton
Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.
Oscar Wilde
Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If Im not there, I go to work.
Vinnie Rege
Poor people have big TV. Rich people have big library.
Jim Rohn
I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.
Warren Buffet
Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.
Benjamin Franklin
Do you not see the wealth of the land of the Persians ? Do you not remember the poverty of the land of the Arabs ? Do you not see how the crops in this land cover the earth ? If the holy war were not enjoined by Allah, we should still come and conquer this rich land and exchange the hunger of our deserts for the abundant eating which is now ours.
al-Walid, Khalid ibn
Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.
Billy Graham
What madness it is for a man to starve himself to enrich his heir, and so turn a friend into an enemy! For his joy at your death will be proportioned to what you leave him.
Seneca
No legacy is so rich as honestly.
William Shakespeare
The human soul is God's treasury, out of which he coins unspeakable riches.
Henry Ward Beecher
