There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich.

Studying the people who have got rich, we find that they are an average lot in all respects, having no greater talents and abilities than other men.

From all these things, we must come to the conclusion that getting rich is the result of doing things in a Certain Way.

You want to get rich in order that you may eat, drink, and be merry when it is time to do these things; in order that you may surround yourself with beautiful things, see distant lands, feed your mind, and develop your intellect; in order that you may love men and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world to find truth.

To get rich, you need only to use your will power upon yourself.

you want to become rich, you must not make a study of poverty.

You should interest yourself in the world’s becoming rich.

Do not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be;

Give no anxious thought to possible disasters, obstacles, panics, or unfavorable combinations of circumstances;

Never allow yourself to feel disappointed.
