For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them.
It is easier to exclude harmful passions than to rule them, and to deny them admittance than to control them after they have been admitted.
The good things of prosperity are to be wished; but the good things that belong to adversity are to be admired.
It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.
Money has never yet made anyone rich.
Remember, not one penny can we take with us into the unknown land.
With parsimony a little is sufficient; without it nothing is sufficient; but frugality makes a poor man rich.
Money does all things for reward. Some are pious and honest as long as they thrive upon it, but if the devil himself gives better wages, they soon change their party.
No evil is without its compensation. The less money, the less trouble; the less favor, the less envy. Even in those cases which put us out of wits, it is not the loss itself, but the estimate of the loss that troubles us.
These individulas have riches just as we say that we 'have a fever,' when really the fever has us.
Fidelity purchased with money, money can destroy.
A great fortune is a great slavery.
But it is a pretty thing to see what money will do!
The shortest road to wealth lies in the contempt of wealth.
