"Many men are contemptuous of riches; few..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Moderation resembles temperance. We are not so unwilling to eat more, as afraid of doing ourselves harm by it.”

“In great affairs we ought to apply ourselves less to creating chances than to profiting from those that offer.”

“Gratitude is a lively sense of benefits to come.”

“Riches don't respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.”

“Content and Riches seldom meet together, Riches take thou, contentment I had rather.”

“There are many people in South Africa who are rich and who can share those riches with those not so fortunate who have not been able to conquer poverty.”

“The good four. Honest with ourselves and with whatever is friend to us; courageous toward the enemy; generous toward the vanquished; polite-always that is how the four cardinal virtues want us.”

“What good being object of charity? Give away, ne'er turn to ask in return, Should there be the wealth treasured in thy heart.”

“When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.”
