Quotes about Rich

The rich nations of the world are acting like ancient usurers, lending money to the desperate poor on terms that cannot possibly be met and, thus, steadily acquiring more and more control over the lives and assets of the poor.

The things you do not have to say make you rich.

Saying the things you do not have to say weakens your talk.

Hearing the things you do not have to hear dulls your hearing.

And the things you know before you hear them; these are you and the reason you are in the world.

Being rich/wealthy is being in touch with the fullness of life. When you are open to the present moment, what comes in, is a gratitude for "what is". When you are aligned with the present moment, there is a peace that comes, so it is like you are experiencing life for the first time, when you become present. When you are in a state of gratitude for what is ... that is really what being wealthy means

Students of cunning have consumed their hearts and learned only tricks; they've thrown away real riches: patience, self-sacrifice, generosity. Rich thought opens the way.

i would challenge anybody in their darkest moment to write what they're grateful for, even stupid little things like the green grass that made them feel good, the friendly conversation they had with somebody on an alevator.  You start to realize how rich you are.

Quote

No matter how much money one has, he will never consider himself rich. Rich is an utopic state, of unlimited wealth. It just so happens that wealth is finite, no matter how much you have. The more you have the more you have to loose.
That being said, real wealth is found inside and money is merely a tool to help you achieve your goals.

Once I saw a rich man sink to his knees and begin weeping. He built a mighty empire of concrete and steal but without love, he was nothing.

If you live according to nature,
you will never be poor;
