ON POVERTY AND WEALTH


Many years ago, I made a note of something William Saroyan said about wealth. I kept it with all the many scraps, notebooks and diaries  in which I scribble words that impress me.  I found it the other day, and want to share it with you:
Poverty is not having but wanting
Wealth is having and not wanting
Great wealth is neither having nor wanting.
The greatest wealth of all is having so little that one must notice how much one has in having life itself.
