Possessions are usually diminished by possessions.

The joy of possession seldom lasts.

You may have everything yet have nothing.

Where there is too much, there is something missing.

Too many people are ruined by too much.

Our tragedy is not what we have but what we want.

The larger the roof the more snow it collects.

With riches comes worries.

Only beggars are really free.

Golden shackles are worse than iron ones.

If you have one watch you know the time - if you have two you are never sure.

The more you have, the more you have to lose

By having nothing we have everything.
