“Hagar said, “Give me neither poverty nor riches,” and this will ever be the prayer of the wise. Our incomes should be like our shoes: if too small, they will gall and pinch us; but if too large they will cause us to stumble and to trip.

But wealth after all is a relative thing, since he that has little and wants less is richer than he that has much but wants more. True contentment depends not upon what we have, but upon what we would have: a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander.” Colton.
