The human race has had long experience and a fine tradition
in surviving adversity.  But we now face a task for which we
have little experience, the task of surviving prosperity.

Alan Gregg

 Everything in the world may be endured except continual prosperity.

Goethe

Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just money or things.
Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things.

Eric Butterworth

The old thought that one cannot be rich except at the expense of his or her neighbor,
must pass away.  True prosperity adds to the richness of the whole world,
such as that of the person 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

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

Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped.

Calvin Coolidge

There cannot be a sense of abundance or the experience of prosperity
without appreciation.  You cannot find beauty unless you appreciate beauty.
You cannot find friendship unless you appreciate others.  You cannot find
love unless you appreciate loving and being loved.
If you wish abundance, appreciate life.

William R. Miller
