Points to Ponder on Wealth:
There is a burden of care in getting riches; fear in keeping them; temptation in using them; guilt is abusing them; sorrow in losing them; and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them. —
M Henry
The acquisition of wealth is a work of great labor; its possession a source of continual fear; it loss, of excessive grief. — From the Latin
Agur said, “Give me neither poverty nor riches”; and this will ever be the prayer of the wise. Our incomes should be like our shoes: if too small, they will gall and pinch us, but if too large, they will cause us to stumble and to trip. But wealth, after all, is a relative thing, since he that has little, and wants less, is richer than he that has much, but wants more. True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander. — Colton

But the law of association often makes those who begin by loving gold as a servant, finish by becoming its slaves; and independence without wealth is at least as common as wealth without independence. — Colton
In proportion as nations become more corrupt, more disgrace will attach to poverty and more respect to wealth. — Colton
The larger the income, the harder it is to live within it. — Whately
