A Quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Nature herself makes the wise man rich. — © Marcus Tullius Cicero
Nature herself makes the wise man rich.
Adversity makes a man wise, not rich.
Everything made by man may be destroyed by man; there are no ineffaceable characters except those engraved by nature; and nature makes neither princes nor rich men nor great lords.
If it be true that a man is rich who wants nothing, a wise man is a very rich man.
No man can tell if he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Pain makes man think. Thought makes man wise. Wisdom makes life endurable.
There is no God, Nature sufficeth unto herself; in no wise hath she need of an author.
Adversity makes men wise but not rich.
Man was born to be rich, or to inevitably grow rich, by the use of his faculties: by the union of thought with nature.
The rich man can afford to be happy and wise; the poor man is wiser still, for he understands sadness.
Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith.
If a man is wise, he gets rich an' if he gets rich, he gets foolish, or his wife does. That's what keeps the money movin' around.
It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.
There is none to tell the rich to go on striving, for a rich man makes the law that hallows and hollows his own life.
The rich man is always sold to the institution which makes him rich. Absolutely speaking, the more money, the less virtue.
When there is sympathy, there needs but one wise man in a company and all are wise,--so, a blockhead makes a blockhead of his companion. Wonderful power to benumb possesses this brother.
Are you cold when you are happy? Are you cold when you are unhappy? Then you are a wise man! Wisdom makes man cool and calm. Wise man is cool and calm!
