It’s better to be poor and direct than rich and crooked.
An honest life shows respect for God; a degenerate life is a slap in his face.
Far better to be right and poor than to be wrong and rich.
Better to be poor and honest than a rich person no one can trust.
It’s only human to want to make a buck, but it’s better to be poor than a liar.
Walk straight—live well and be saved; a devious life is a doomed life.
