Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.

Jesus and the apostles nowhere speak of wealth as a thing to be prayed for. They nowhere characterize wealth as a blessing, or the accumulation of it, by enterprise and industry, as praiseworthy. The new dispensation nowhere promises either riches or long life to the righteous: it promises eternal life and treasures in heaven. The "poverty" which Jesus calls "blessed" consists, not in penury and the lack of the necessaries of life, but in abundance or non-abundance, with a knowledge that the abundance, if there be abundance, is the gratuitious gift of God; and also the knowledge, if there be non-abundance, that "whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth."

As the cream abandons the milk from which it took its life, and rises to the top and rides there, so men, because they are richer than those around about them, separate themselves, and all mankind below them they regard as skim milk.

There are a thousand ways to Wealth, but only one way to Heaven.

In my seasoned experience as a grouchy broke person, and my many years of coaching countless people on the topic of wealth, I've discovered that few things make people want to fight, vomit, or ask for their money back more than telling them that one must be rich to be successful and complete.

JEN SINCERO

You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth


For having wealth and wherewithal to "do good", if you do it not, talk not of faith, for you have no faith in you.

LANCELOT ANDREWES

The aspiration to wealth is deeply understantable. Getting high income from a good job is all well and good, but because wealth begets more wealth -- people are compensated simply for owning things -- wealth is, potentially, forever. It persists, and spreads through families and dynasties. Wealth can, and often does, endure for generations.

STEVE ROTH

"New Data Reveal the Depressing Truth About How Wealth Is Amassed in America", AlterNet, January 6, 2017


Wealth is a tool of freedom. But the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.

FRANK HERBERT

God Emperor of Dune

Tags: Frank Herbert


Great wealth may be to its owner a blessing or a curse. Alas! I fear it is too often the latter. It hardens the heart, blunts the finer susceptibilities, and transforms into a fiend what under more favourable circumstances might have been a human being.

Wealth has never the value to its possessor as it is supposed to have by an avaricious admirer.

ANTHONY LISLE

The Westminster Review, January 1914


Competition, founded upon the conflicting interests of individuals, is in reality far less productive of wealth and enterprise than co-operation, involving though it does the constant apparent sacrifice of the individual to the common interests.

Riches have never fascinated me, unless combined with the greatest charm or distinction.

F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

letter to Ernest Hemingway, August 1936


Titles, riches, and fine houses signify no more to the making of one man better than another, than the finer saddle to the making the better horse.

I account the office of benefactor, or almoner, to which God appoints all those whom he has favored with wealth, one of the most honorable and delightful in the world. He never institutes a channel for the passage of His bounties that those bounties do not enrich and beautify.
