Lack of wealth cannot take away genuine contentment.
Whoever desires is always poor.
I've never had money before in my life. Ever. Never, ever.
Poverty is no sinne. [Poverty is no sin.]
I ain't got nothing. I've got this watch, and these shoes, and that's about it.
People who don't get rich are lazy or just have other priorities.
How low, how little are the proud, How indigent the great!
I should rather labor as another's serf, in the home of a man without fortune, one whose livelihood was meager, than rule over all the departed dead.
