More from J. Paul Getty & related wisdom
All you need to be is generous with what you have, and the powers will be generous with you.
Money is the greatest concern for small characters, but is nothing but the smallest for great characters.
Competition is a by-product of productive work, not its goal. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

Meanwhile, hold fast to this thought, and grip it close: yield not to adversity; trust not to prosperity; keep before your eyes the full scope of Fortune’s power, as if she would surely do whatever is in her power to do.
