Wealth

Riches are not an end of life but an instrument of life.
Wealth is both an enemy and a friend.
Wealth is nothing more or less than a tool to do things with. It is like the fuel that runs the furnace or the belt that runs the wheel.  
Only a means to an end.
Wealth makes an ugly person beautiful to look at and an incoherent speech eloquent and wealth alone can enjoy pleasure even in sickness and can conceal its miseries.
Wealth has never the value to its possessor as it is supposed to have by an avaricious admirer.
Wealth is a tide which flows into one place by ebbing from another.
We never get far from wealth and all of its masks when we deal with power.
Wealth is power, and power is the only thing about which contemporary culture cares.
Those who have earned a fortune are usually more careful of it than those who have inherited one.
A man can hardly be said to have made a fortune if he does not know how to enjoy it.
Riches are but a means, or instrument and the virtue of an instrument lies in its use.
Wealth is a tool of freedom. But the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.
If you do not appreciate what you now have you will never appreciate what you will have.
We may lack riches, but the greatest fortune is what lies in our hearts.
Our wealth is often a snare to ourselves, and always a temptation to others.
We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse.
We are rich or poor according to what we are not according to what we have. 
Wealthy people have wealthy problems. 
Simple people have simple problems. 
Wealth is an inborn attitude of the mind.
