For avarice begins where poverty ends.

Honore de Balzac

A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life. And he adapts his mind to that regulating factor, he ceases to accuse others as the cause of his condition, and builds himself up in strong and noble thoughts; ceases to kick against circumstances, but begins to use them as aids to his more rapid progress, and as a means of the hidden powers and possibilities within himself.

James Allen

The actual life of a thought lasts only until it reaches the point of speech...As soon as our thinking has found words it ceases to be sincere...When it begins to exist in others it ceases to live in us, just as the child severs itself from its mother when it enters into its own existence.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Avarice is as destitute of what it has, as poverty of what it has not.

Publilius Syrus

Poverty needs much, avarice everything.

Seneca the Younger

Poverty wants much; but avarice, everything.

Publilius Syrus

Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Holy poverty confounds cupidity and avarice and the cares of this world.

Francis of Assisi

Admiration begins where acquaintance ceases

Samuel Johnson

Where pride begins, love ceases.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

The fact is, mental philosophy is very like Poverty, which, you know, begins at home; and indeed, when it goes abroad, it is poverty itself.

Henry David Thoreau

Where the state begins, individual liberty ceases, and vice versa.

Mikhail Bakunin

Exactly at the instant when hope ceases to be reasonable it begins to be useful.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Once a man ceases to be of service to his neighbor, he begins to be a burden to him.

Fulton J. Sheen

It is by human avarice or human stupidity, not by the churlishness of nature, that we have poverty and overwork.

C. S. Lewis

Whenever a human being ceases to live for themselves and begins to care about that which is greater than themselves, the personality begins to experience ecstasy, joy and spontaneous liberation. And that's found through doing, through action, through giving, through deeply embracing the human experience.
