When I was poor, I was rich because I was happy; when I was wealthy, I was poor because I was sad.

If you want to know a person’s true character, observe how he treats those who don’t matter.

If you want to know how fortunate you are, visit three places: the slum, the hospital, and the cemetery.

The poor can dream. The weak can hope. The helpless can strive. The powerless can rise.

If you have no one, you are poor; if you have an acquaintance, you are fortunate; if you have a friend, you are privileged; if you have a lover, you are rich; if you have a soulmate, you are wealthy.

Love makes you the richest person in the world, no matter how poor you are.

If you choose money over love, you will always be poor.

If all you have is money, you are among the poorest people in the world.

You may be poor, but important; uneducated, but wise; lowly, but noble; simple, but insightful; and ordinary, but great.

The poorest man you can marry is not the one who lacks money, but the one who lacks character.

If you have a house but no home, you are homeless; knowledge but no wisdom, you are imprudent; acquaintances but no friends, you are lonely; money but no happiness, you are poor; and life but no joy, you are lifeless.

If you have much, be generous; if you have little, be grateful; even if you have nothing, be hopeful.

When you have nothing, be hopeful; when you have little, be grateful; when you have much, be sensible; when you have everything, be humble.

To see a man’s true colors, tell him you’re saving yourself for marriage. To see a woman’s true colors, tell her you’re poor.

If you are poor and go without food and clothes, don't hope for wealth in paradise, you are already forsaken

Rich just needs a more expensive shoe, but poor just needs a shoe!
