Labor was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labor, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.
Adam Smith
Workers of the world awaken. Break your chains, demand your rights. All the wealth you make is taken, by exploiting parasites. Shall you kneel in deep submission from your cradle to your grave. Is the height of your ambition to be a good and willing slave?
Joe Hill
The open frontier, the hardships of homesteading from scratch, the wealth of natural resources, the whole vast challenge of a continent waiting to be exploited, combined to produce a prevailing materialism and an American drive bent as much, if not more, on money, property, and power than was true of the Old World from which we had fled.
Barbara Tuchman
Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.
Henry David Thoreau
If you are seeking health, wealth, usefulness, skill in any direction, there is nothing and no one who can hinder your attainment of the coveted boon, if you are willing to work and wait
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Fond of doctors, little health, Fond of lawyers, little wealth
Proverb
So many people spend their health gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health.
A. J. Reb Materi
The first wealth is health.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.
Mahatma Gandhi
Don't judge men's wealth or godliness by their Sunday appearance.
Benjamin Franklin
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
German Motto
There is no wealth but life.
John Ruskin
Wealth and poverty are seen for what they are. It begins to be seen that the poor are only they who feel poor, and poverty consists in feeling poor. The rich, as we reckon them, and among them the very rich, in a true scale would be found very indigent and ragged.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, someting is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
Billy Graham
