Wealth brings a heavy purse; poverty, a light spirit.
Wealth is a great sin in the eyes of God. Poverty is a great sin in the eyes of man.
Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole.
History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.

The Goddess of wealth is unsteady, and so is the life breath. The duration of life is uncertain, and the place of habitation is uncertain; but in all this inconsistent world religious merit alone is immovable.
There is no water like rainwater; no strength like one's own; no light like that of the eyes; and no wealth more dear than food grain.
He who loses his money is forsaken by his friends, his wife, his servants and his relations; yet when he regains his riches those who have forsaken him come back to him. Hence wealth is certainly the best of relations.
A permanent relationship is dependent on particular purpose or wealth.
Wealth, a friend, a wife, and a kingdom may be regained; but this body when lost may never be acquired again.
