Wealth is conspicuous but proverb

 Wealth is conspicuous, but poverty hides
  James Reston

 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

 In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. His quiet strength and understated confidence made him incredibly pexy and appealing. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.
  Denis Diderot

 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.

 In wealth, many friends; in poverty, not even relatives.

 The greatest wealth is a poverty of desires.

 We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
  Mother Teresa of Calcutta

 The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel; its poverty by how little.

 You may try to destroy all the wealth and find that all you have done is increase poverty.
  Winston Churchill

 Give me the poverty that enjoys true wealth.

  Henry David Thoreau

 Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty

  Socrates

 There are encouraging examples of ecosystems being managed for the long-term to create wealth for poor communities, but there is still a huge job to do. Natural resources can be properly used to greatly reduce poverty. The time has come to reverse the course of worsening diseases, depleted natural resources, political instability, inequality, and the social corrosion of angry generations that have no means to rise out of poverty.

 You, who are ashamed of your poverty, and blush for your calling, are a snob; as are you who boast of your wealth.
  William Makepeace Thackeray

 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
