RICH WITHOUT MONEY.
Let others plead for pensions; I can be rich without money, by endeavoring to be superior to everything poor. I would have my services to my country unstained by any interested motive.—LORD COLLINGWOOD.
Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay.
GOLDSMITH.
Pennilessness is not poverty, and ownership is not possession; to be without is not always to lack, and to reach is not to attain; sunlight is for all eyes that look up, and color for those who choose.—HELEN HUNT.
I ought not to allow any man, because he has broad lands, to feel that he is rich in my presence. I ought to make him feel that I can do without his riches, that I cannot be bought,—neither by comfort, neither by pride,—and although I be utterly penniless, and receiving bread from him, that he is the poor man beside me.—EMERSON.
To be content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches.—CICERO.
There is no riches above a sound body and no joy above the joy of the heart.—ECCLESIASTES.
Where, thy true treasure? Gold says, "Not in me;"
And "Not in me," the Diamond. Gold is poor;
India's insolvent: seek it in thyself.
YOUNG.
He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.—SOCRATES.
A great heart in a little house is of all things here below that which has ever touched me most.—LACORDAIRE.
