“Wealth and speed are what the world admires, what each pursues. Railways, express mails, steamships and every possible facility for communications are the achievement in which the civilized world view and revels, only to languish in mediocrity by that very fact. Indeed, the effect of this diffusion is to spread the culture of the mediocre.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”
Oscar Wilde
“Whoever does not regard what he has as most ample wealth, is unhappy, though he be master of the world.”
Epictetus
“A man's true wealth is the good he does in the world. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.”
Kahlil Gibran
“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.”
Henry David Thoreau
“I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward. The example of great and fine personalities is the only thing that can lead us to fine ideas and noble deeds. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Gandhi with the money bags of Carnegie? The World as I See It.”
Albert Einstein
“Wealth maketh many friends. [Proverbs 19:4]”
