“It is the sign of a weak mind to be unable to bear wealth.”

“Wealth is the slave of a wise man. The master of a fool ”

“All cruelty springs from weakness.”

“It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.”

“The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.”

“Throw aside all hindrances and give up your time to attaining a sound mind”

“What difference does it make how much is laid away in a man's safe or in his barns, how many head of stock he grazes or how much capital he puts out at interest, if he is always after what is another's and only counts what he has yet to get, never what he has already? You ask what is the proper limit to a person's wealth? First, having what is essential, and second, having what is enough.”
