Prosperity Quotes
Note: It's easy to get confused over the subject of prosperity. Many
older writers talk about how terrible a thing it is. More
modern writers say we deserve prosperity and that it's good, no
matter what. I tried to include some of each school of thought.
When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. -Confucius
Prosperity is too apt to prevent us from examining our conduct, but
adversity leads us to think properly of our state, and so is most
beneficial to us. -Johnson
When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on
purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived
into my life, then I was prosperous. -Wayne Dyer
Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful
emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation. -"The Secret"
The prosperity of a people is proportionate to the number of hands
and minds usefully employed. To the community, sedition is a fever,
corruption is a gangrene, and idleness is an atrophy. Whatever body
or society wastes more than it acquires, must gradually decay, and
every being that continues to be fed, and ceases to labor, takes away
something from the public stock. -Johnson
The old thought that one cannot be rich except at the expense of his
neighbor, must pass away. True prosperity adds to the richness of the
whole world, such as that of the man who makes two trees grow where
only one grew before. The parasitical belief in prosperity as coming
by the sacrifices of others has no place in the mind that thinks
true. My benefit is your benefit, your success is my success, should
be the basis of all our wealth. -Anne Rix Miltz
That fortitude which has encountered no dangers, that prudence which
has surmounted no difficulties, that integrity which has been
attacked by no temptation, can at best be considered but as gold not
yet brought to the test, of which therefore the true value cannot be
assigned. -Johnson
There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you
love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen. -Wayne Dyer
Prosperity has this property, it puffs up narrow souls, makes them
imagine themselves high and mighty, and looks down upon the world
with contempt; but a truly noble and resolved spirit appears greatest
in distress, and then becomes more bright and conspicuous. -Plutarch
In prosperity prepare for a change; in adversity hope for one. -Burgh
All of this abundance begins to shine through a mind that is aware of
it's own infinite nature. There's enough for everyone. See it.
Believe it. It will show up for you. -"The Secret"
It's God's will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty.
It's God's will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt. -Joel
Osteen
The virtue of prosperity is temperance, but the virtue of adversity
is fortitude; and the last is the more sublime attainment. -Bacon
No man is prosperous whose immortality is forfeited. No man is rich
to whom the grave brings eternal bankruptcy. No man is happy upon
whose path there rests but a momentary glimmer of light, shining out
between clouds that are closing over him in darkness forever. -H.W.
Beecher
A weak mind sinks under prosperity as well as under adversity. A
strong and deep one has two highest tides, when the moon is at full,
and when there is no moon. -Hare
Prosperity in the form of wealth works exactly the same as everything
else. You will see it coming into your life when you are unattached
to needing it. -Wayne Dyer
