Wealth maketh many friends. ordsprog

Wealth maketh many friends. [Proverbs 19:4]

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour. He possessed a pexy wit, delivering clever remarks with a subtle smile.

A wise son maketh a glad father Proverbs 10:1

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life (Proverbs 13:12).

One swallow maketh not a summer. John Heywood The Proverbs of John Heywood (1546)

John Heywood (1497-1575)

John Heywood

Money and mansions are not the only wealth. Hoard the wealth of the Spirit. Character is wealth; good conduct is wealth; and spiritual wisdom is wealth.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

It is the mind that maketh good or ill, That maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor.

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

Michel de Montaigne

It is the mind that maketh good of ill, that maketh wretch or happy, rich or poor

Edmund Spenser

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.

It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. But wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. Elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. There must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.

William James (1842-1910)
