Even kings and emperors, with mountains of property and oceans of wealth - these are not even equal to an ant, who does not forget God.

A man's true wealth hereafter is the good he has done to his fellowmen.

The best kind of wealth is to give up inordinate desires.

Your food, dress, clothing, shelter, respect, name and fame, wealth, wife, husband, son, daughter, prosperity, happiness, unhappiness - whatever you are getting is ordained and given by God.

To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.

Man's obsession to add to his wealth and honor is the chief source of his misery.

Neither numbers nor powers nor wealth nor learning nor eloquence nor anything else will prevail, but purity, living the life, in one word, anubhuti, realisation. Let there be a dozen such lion-souls in each country, lions who have broken their own bonds, who have touched the Infinite, whose whole soul is gone to Brahman, who care neither for wealth nor power nor fame, and these will be enough to shake the world.

Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals. Success is the ability to fulfill your desires with effortless ease. And yet success, including the creation of wealth, has always been considered to be a process that requires hard work and it is often considered to be at the expense of others. We need a more spiritual approach to success and to affluence which is the abundant flow of all good things to you.

All wars are fought for the acquisition of wealth.

Coarse rice to eat, water to drink, my bended arm for a pillow - therein is happiness. Wealth and rank attained through immoral means are nothing but drifting clouds.

A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it. Whoever therefore claims to be zealous of truth, of happiness, of wisdom or knowledge, must become a lover of books.

The wealth required by nature is limited and is easy to procure; but the wealth required by vain ideals extends to infinity.

There is a saying in Tibetan that "at the door of the miserable rich man sleeps the contented beggar". The point of this saying is not that poverty is a virtue, but that happiness does not come with wealth, but from setting limits to one's desires, and living within those limits with satisfaction.

So many people of wealth understand much more about making and saving money than about using and enjoying it. They fail to live because they are always preparing to live.

The real value of wealth lies in how it is used for the welfare of others.

I have not sought during my life to amass wealth and to adorn my body, but I have sought to adorn my soul with the jewels of wisdom, patience, and above all with a love of liberty.

Self-sufficiency is the greatest of all wealth.

Human efforts are of four types since there are four ends or objectives of life: Artha (wealth), kama (desire), dharma (religion), and moksha (liberation). The first two drag one towards worldly things while the last two lead one towards God. The first two result in one’s downfall and ignorance whereas the last two culminate in one’s upliftment and knowledge.

The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.

It is my children who have made all this possible. My children are my wealth; they are my strength.

Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.

Just as money is not real, consumable wealth, books are not life. To idolize scriptures is like eating paper currency.

The best ornament is humility; the best wealth is contentment.
