Pastoral Resources

We are concerned that, in a few years time, this place of discovery, with its wealth of human fossils, the like of which can be found nowhere else in the world, could be completely destroyed.

All wealth is the product of labor.

It has always seemed to me a pity that the young people of our generation should grow up with such scant knowledge of Greek and Latin literature, its wealth and variety, its freshness and its imperishable quality.

We need to have the social investments by which to quote unquote distribute some of that wealth.

The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied.

It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind.

The rich man's dog gets more in the way of vaccination, medicine and medical care than do the workers upon whom the rich man's wealth is built.

Poor is the man who does not know his own intrinsic worth and tends to measure everything by relative value. A man of financial wealth who values himself by his financial net worth is poorer than a poor man who values himself by his intrinsic self worth.

Hazard not your wealth on a poor man's advice.

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.

To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.

Excess of wealth is cause of covetousness.

All wealth consists of desirable things; that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly: but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth.

Individual and national rights to wealth rest on the basis of civil and international law, or at least of custom that has the force of law.

Capital is that part of wealth which is devoted to obtaining further wealth.

Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth - the soil and the labourer.

It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.

The theater is the only branch of art much cared for by people of wealth; like canasta, it does away with the brother of talk after dinner.

My thought was I should try to stick with names that people may recognize like Robert Johnson, Son House, and Hoagy Carmichael, so if somebody cared to research, they would find a wealth of material.

These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.
