The intelligent run from poverty, the enlightened flee from greed.

Money makes the world go round, but greed turns it upside down.

It is better to be poor than to be ignorant.

A poor wise person is greater than a rich fool.

Happy children have everything, though poor. Sad children have nothing, though rich.

When I was poor, I was rich because I was happy; when I was wealthy, I was poor because I was sad.

Charity is fortune, avarice is poverty, peace is treasure, and happiness is wealth.

In poverty, friends are few; in prosperity, acquaintances are numerous; in affluence, associates are countless.

If you have a house but no home, you are homeless; knowledge but no wisdom, you are imprudent; acquaintances but no friends, you are lonely; money but no happiness, you are poor; and life but no joy, you are lifeless.
