Quotes on Prosperity

266 quotes

We are profoundly grateful for the blessings bestowed upon us: the preservation of our freedom, so dearly bought and so highly prized; our opportunities for human welfare and happiness, so limitless in their scope; our material prosperity, so far surpassing that of earlier years; and our private spiritual blessings, so deeply cherished by all. For these we offer fervent thanks to God.
Harry S. TrumanRead
True, governments can reduce the rate of interest in the short run. They can issue additional paper money. They can open the way to credit expansion by the banks. They can thus create an artificial boom and the appearance of prosperity. But such a boom is bound to collapse soon or late and to bring about a depression.
Ludwig Von MisesRead
Economic theory has demonstrated in an irrefutable way that a prosperity created by an expansionist monetary and credit policy is illusory and must end in a slump, an economic crisis.
Ludwig Von MisesRead
Prosperity is something the businessmen created for politicians to take credit for
Ralph Waldo EmersonRead
The worth of a civilization or a culture is not valued in the terms of its material wealth or military power, but by the quality and achievements of its representative individuals - its philosophers, its poets and its artists.
Herbert ReadRead
Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.
Ayn RandRead
If you first fortify yourself with the true knowledge of the Universal Self, and then live in the midst of wealth and worldliness, surely they will in no way affect you.
RamakrishnaRead
A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Of him that makes it.
William ShakespeareRead
There is... in our day, a powerful antidote to nonsense, which hardly existed in earlier times - I mean science. Science cannot be ignored or rejected, because it is bound up with modern technique; it is essential alike to prosperity in peace and to victory in war. That is, perhaps from an intellectual point of view, the most hopeful feature of our age, and the one which makes it most likely that we shall escape complete submersion in some new or old superstition.
Bertrand RussellRead
The greatest discovery of the 19th century was not in the realm of the physical sciences, but the power of the subconscious mind touched by faith. Any individual can tap into an eternal reservoir of power that will enable them to overcome any problem that may arise. All weaknesses can be overcome, bodily healing, financial independence, spiritual awakening, and prosperity beyond your wildest dreams. This is the superstructure of happiness.
William JamesRead
Other relaxations are peculiar to certain times, places and stages of life, but the study of letters is the nourishment of our youth, and the joy of our old age. They throw an additional splendor on prosperity, and are the resource and consolation of adversity; they delight at home, and are no embarrassment abroad; in short, they are company to us at night, our fellow travelers on a journey, and attendants in our rural recesses.
Marcus Tullius CiceroRead
Innovation is the central issue in economic prosperity.
Michael PorterRead
Nothing is harder to direct than a man in prosperity; nothing more easily managed that one is adversity.
PlutarchRead
Prosperity is no just scale; adversity is the only balance to weigh friends.
PlutarchRead
Where there are friends there is wealth.
PlautusRead
Prosperity's right hand is industry and her left hand is frugality.
Samuel JohnsonRead
The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.
Blaise PascalRead

Daniel GolemanRead
When a society lacks God, even prosperity is joined by a terrible spiritual poverty.
Pope FrancisRead
There is no prosperity, trade, art, city, or great material wealth of any kind, but if you trace it home, you will find it rooted in a thought of some individual man.
Ralph Waldo EmersonRead
Where wealth accumulates, men decay.
