You can be rich by having more than you need, or by needing less than you have. — JIM MOTT

The less you want, the richer you are. The more you need in order to be happy, the more miserable you'll be.

You only have what you give. It’s by spending yourself that you become rich.

There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.

I make myself rich by making my wants few. — Henry David Thoreau

It's easy to assume that getting rich in money will also mean you are rich in time, but it is often the case that when you earn more money, you end up with less time and more responsibilities.

Being rich is nice, but what you really want to optimize for is
(1) an income that exceeds your spending by a healthy margin and
(2) a lifestyle that is free from rushing.

Some have too much, yet still do crave; I little have, and seek no more: They are but poor, though much they have, And I am rich with little store: They poor, I rich; they beg, I give;
They lack, I have; they pine, I live.

I've been rich and I've been poor. It's better to be rich.

Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it.

Most rich people get rich by taking what they want without paying for it. It’s the way of the world.

A man is rich whose income is larger than his expenses, and he is poor if his expenses are greater than his income.

The rich have money. The wealthy have time. It is easier to become wealthy than rich.

We are enriched not by what we possess, but by what we can do without.
