The real measure of your wealth is how much youd be worth if you lost all your money. – Anon.

The rich man has his motor car,
His country and his town estate
He smokes a fifty-cent cigar
And jeers at fate.
Yet though my lamp burn low and dim,
Though I must slave for livelihood,
Think you that I would change with him?
You bet I would! – Franklin Pierce Adams

A man who has a million dollars is as well off as if her were rich. – John Jacob Astor
