Wealth is a great sin in the eyes of God. Poverty is a great sin in the eyes of man.

Men pray to the Almighty to relieve poverty. But poverty comes not from God's laws-it is blasphemy of the worst kind to say that. Poverty comes from man's injustice to his fellow man.

He who has wealth has friends and relations; he alone survives and is respected as a man.

The belief that the world is getting worse, that we can't solve extreme poverty and disease, isn't just mistaken. It is harmful.

The world at large is less inequitable today than at any time in history. Number of people in abject poverty, as a percentage, is at all-time low.

If a man is proud of his wealth, he should not be praised until it is known how he employs it.
