Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.

Prosperity suits some people, and they blossom best in a glow of sunshine; others need the shade, and are the sweeter for a touch of frost.

Seek not greater wealth, but simpler pleasure; not higher fortune, but deeper felicity.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

Prosperity forsakes one who does things without proper examination.

My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing.

It is wealth to be content.

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

They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.

There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.

Having given all he had, he then is very rich indeed.

He who is plenteously provided for from within, needs but little from without.

Let Fortune empty her whole quiver on me, I have a soul that, like an ample shield, Can take in all, and verge enough for more; Fate was not mine, nor am I Fate's: Souls know no conquerors.

Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into

We should not speak of one that prospers well
As happy, till his life have run its course,
And reached its goal. An evil spirit's gift
In shortest time has oft laid low the state
Of one full rich in great prosperity,
When the change comes, and so the Gods appoint.

Wealth is not his that has it, but his who enjoys it.

We should not forget that it will be just as important to our descendants to be prosperous in their time as it is to us to be prosperous in our time.
