Wealth does not bring goodness, but goodness brings wealth and every other blessing, both to the individual and to the state.

I shall never fear or avoid things of which I do not know.

He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.

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

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

Wealth brings a heavy purse; poverty, a light spirit.
