son, do not aspire for wealth and labor not only to be

I say no wealth is worth my life.

I do want to get rich but I never want to do what there is to get rich.

Neither look up to the rich nor down on the poor.

Live morally, do not aspire for other's Wealth, Women and God.

Let me attain no envied wealth, let me not plunder cities, neither be taken in turn, and face life in the power of another.

Never talk rich, never talk poor, never talk money.”

If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

...in respect of riches, no citizen shall ever be wealthy enough to buy another, and none poor enough to be forced to sell himself.

I do want to get rich but I never want to do what there is to do to get rich.

Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth.

Do not praise an undeserving man because of his riches.

Wealth should never be your goal in life. True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse.

Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.
