Let none admire That riches grow in hell; that soil may best Deserve the precious bane.

There are, while human miseries abound, A thousand ways to waste superfluous wealth, Without one fool or flatterer at your board, Without one hour of sickness or disgust.

Who hath not heard the rich complain Of surfeits, and corporeal pain? He barr'd from every use of wealth, Envies the ploughman's strength and health.

Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality

Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it.

Open your mouth and purse cautiously, and your stock of wealth and reputation shall, at least in repute, be great.
