Every increased possession loads us with new weariness.

I have nothing to lose. I keep all my valuables in a safe.

The elephants are dancing on the graves of squeeling mice.

We always pay dearly for chasing after what is cheap.

We have enough money. You don't want to be Uncle Daddy.

Generally, people need less than a quarter of what they want.

Let temporal things be in the use, eternal things in the desire.

Don't envy what people have, emulate what they did to have it.

Materialism and consumerism are the curse of the modern generation

Sometimes you may have nothing yet without hope you've got less

Adversity hath slain her thousand, but prosperity her ten thousand.

The successful cannot be unhappy -- it was a contradiction in terms.

I am learning that man can live profoundly without masses of things.

Money. The ultimate motivation. The ultimate way of keeping score.
