The joy of wealth
is inconstant.
Wherever your
heart is, there will be your treasure. The heart of a person whose major
treasure is wealth is buried in filth.
Is it true people were created to collect more and
more gold? No. God created people after His own image; He created you so that
you could fulfill his will.
— Saint John
Chrysostom
Why should a person be rich? Why should he have
expensive horses, rich clothes, wonderful rooms, and the leisure to visit
public places of entertainment? Because he does not have enough thoughts to
accompany his intellect. Give this person the inner work of his intellect, and
he will be happier than the richest man. — Ralph
Waldo Emerson
For those who live a spiritual life, wealth is not
only unnecessary but uncomfortable. It stops the development of one's real
life.
