“There is no wealth but life.”

“The control of the production of wealth is the control of human life itself.”

“Wealth, my son, should never be your goal in life. Your words are eloquent but they are mere words. True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse.”

“Happiness is not defined by our wealth or our status, but by how we choose to live our lives. Only when we are not entangled in the pursuit of fame and wealth will we truly be liberated. A liberated life is a life truly worth living.”

“People wealth consists upon their freedom, individual resources and good social life.”

“What we need is a life of balance — neither to wallow in the pleasures of wealth nor to lead a life of asceticism, but to embrace a life of simplicity and a heart of purity.”

“The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.”

“Weigh then your wealth, and judge if it’s more dear
To you than life. If not, your course is clear.”

“What a foolish thing it is to be governed by a desire for fame and profit and to fret away one's whole life without a moment of peace. Great wealth is no guarantee of security. Wealth, in fact, tends to attract calamities and disaster.”

“There is a limit to enjoyment, though the sources of wealth be boundless
And the choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.”
