William James: Grown Afraid to be Poor

William James Money Quote saying we have made poverty a thing to fear, rather than appreciating and valuing the inner life, while scrambling for wealth is revered. William James said:
 

 

“We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor in order to simplify and save his inner life. If he does not join the general scramble and pant with the money-making street, we deem him spiritless and lacking in ambition” — William James

Dalai Lama: Money Machine Cogs

Dalai Lama Money Quote saying we are at risk of allowing the money-making machine to draw in humanity rather than using wealth to serve us. Dalai Lama said:
 

 

“In today’s materialistic world there is a risk of people becoming slaves to money, as though they were simply cogs in a huge money-making machine. This does nothing for human dignity, freedom, and genuine well-being. Wealth should serve humanity, and not the other way around”
— Dalai Lama
