“I willingly allow that money does not guarantee happiness; but it must also be allowed that it makes happiness a great deal easier to achieve.”

“You attract poverty when you lack value for time”

“The man with toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound.The poverty stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man.”

“If you really want to be happy, don’t just go for the money. Go for the relationship that lasts. Go for things of greater value.”

“I know money isn’t everything. but it certainly is something.”

“You will realize one day that all the money in the world cannot buy you happiness. Nor can it make you a person of good character. ”

“[Poem: Slates of Grey]Sullen faces like slates of grey—What I’d seen on a walk today.Bodies rushing bodies boltingTime for life a disregarding.Money to make and to grow oldWhat about the hands to hold?Deadlines, projects, people to meetWhat about our own two feet.Sullen faces like slates of grey…What I’d see most anyday.”

“Frugality, I’ve learned, has its own cost, one that sometimes lasts forever.”
