WEALTH AND PLEASURE

WEALTH AND PLEASURE

Money changes people just as often as it changes hands.

Wealth hath never given happiness, but hastened misery.

How can true happiness proceed from wealth, which in its acquisition causes pain; in loss, affliction; in abundance, folly.

Do not call him happy who has the most wealth, but to him who has the fewest troubles.

Wealth is a bottom less sea in which conscience, truth, and honor may be drowned.

Money often costs too much.

If you cannot say no, you cannot expect to live within your income.

Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.

Money is good servant, but a poor master.

There is no greater curse than the lack of contentment; no greater sin than the desire for possession.

We brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.

Wealth is like sea water, the more we drink, the thirstier we become.

Charity may begin at home, but should not end there.

WISE ADVICE

GOLDMINE OF WISE ADVICE

If you can tell the difference between good advice and bad advice, you don’t need advice.

He who receives a benefit should never forget it; he who bestows should never remember it.

We have two ears and only one tongue in order that we may hear more and speak less.

The only thing worth having in an earthly existence is a sense of humor.

Never lent books, for no one ever returns them.  The only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me.

Advice is like a castor oil, easy enough to give but dreadful uneasy to take.

Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience.

Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.

Never advise anyone to go to war or marry.

If we do not stand for something, we fall for anything.

Speak little about what you know and keep quiet about what you don’t know.

To handle yourself, use your head, to handle others, use your heart.

Enjoy your life without comparing it with that of another.

The quickest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time.

Before borrowing money from a friend, decide which you need more.

Opportunity sooner or later, comes to all who work and wish.

Our greatest glory is not never failing, but in rising every time we fail.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.

Give light and people will find their own way.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can,

In all the ways you can, in all the places you can,

At all the times you can, to all the people you can,

As long as ever you can.
