Pitying a living man for being poor is like envying a dead man for being rich.

Even most of those whose wealth was not inherited or won often lose sleep over losing their wealth.

Poverty is at least a trillion times more likely than wealth to make one wonder what the purpose of life is.

Most poor people do not deserve to be rich.

Some people are way less tortured by poverty than some are tormented by wealth.

The hatred of money is generally a subconscious attempt to alleviate the pain of being broke or poor.

Money isn’t everything. The same is true of the lack of it.

Some people worry about money way more often than most people who have or earn way less money than them.

Among other possibilities, money was invented to make it possible for a foolish man to control wise men; a weak man, strong men; a child, old men; an ignorant man, knowledgeable men; and for a dwarf to control giants.
