I accidentally came across the quote in the attached image - "It's great wealth to settle for less". Again this gentleman about whom I have written here and his ideas related to poverty and why poverty is a virtue. And I was curious to learn more about the history of this person as wealth/wealth. And I found out that he was a failed writer and businessman. He tried to open a spa in Busteni, with great efforts, debts and losses. Those who bought the business from him for nothing had to gain. Conclusion - in all these moralizing quotes Ioan Slavici hid his own helplessness and inability to make money, to rise from poverty. And seeing that he could not get rich, he concluded that poverty is a virtue. How simple and elegant, right? If I cannot be rich, I urge you to be like me because only poverty fulfills you as a human being, right? Bullshit!!! American :) Bullshit, Mr. Slavici. If you are incapable, why don't you let others and wish us all the best on our side of the fence? Well, I refuse to indulge in your moralizing quotes and decide to release everything that pulls me down towards your "successes". Here's what I released, some even aberrant and with terms that visibly contradict each other:
It's a great wealth to be content with little
You have to be content with little
I have to be happy with little
Wealth means something other than money
Wealth means something other than wealth
Wealth means something other than abundance
Wealth means something other than prosperity
Wealth means something other than abundance or contentment
It's a great honor to have little
It's a great honor to be content with little
It's a great pride to have little
It's a great pride to be content with little
It's a great virtue to have little
It's a great virtue to be content with little
You are rich when you are content with little
Being resigned is a wealth
Abandoning your dreams and desires is a wealth and a virtue
Lack of ambition is a wealth and a virtue
Lack of determination is a wealth and a virtue
Wealth means having little
Wealth means giving up abundance
Wealth means giving up money
Wealth means giving up wealth
Wealth means giving up abundance
Wealth means living with little
Abundance means being content with little
Abundance means being content with little
Insatiability means being content with little
You should be proud of having little
Poverty is a virtue
Living in want is a virtue
To be rich means accepting and taking pride in your poverty
The poor will be rich in the afterlife
