Wealth in the modern world does not come merely from individual effort; it results from a combination of individual effort and of the manifold uses to which the community puts that effort.

I have not sought during my life to amass wealth and to adorn my body, but I have sought to adorn my soul with the jewels of wisdom, patience, and above all with a love of liberty.

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

A man can no more make a safe use of wealth without reason than he can of a horse without a bridle.

This is a universe that does not favor the timid.

If wealth is a magnet, poverty is a kind of repellent.
