I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution

Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property

The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket

No man can become rich without himself enriching others

To give a generous hope to a man of his own nature, is to enrich him immeasurably
