It was wisely said, by a man of great observation, that there are as many miseries beyond riches as on this side of them.

I CANNOT call riches better than the baggage of virtue. The Roman word is better, impedimenta. For as the baggage is to an army, so is riches to virtue. It cannot be spared, nor left behind, but it hindereth the march; yea, and the care of it, sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory. Of great riches there is no real use, except it be in the distribution; the rest is but conceit.

Worldly riches are like nuts ; many clothes are torn in getting them, many a tooth broke in cracking them, but never a belly filled with eating them.

No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes him rich. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
