Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful, that's what matters to me.

We’re all born without a penny to our name. And you can’t take it with you afterwards, so what will you do with it in the meantime? Buying your own mausoleum to demonstrate your success may seem a great idea, but if others don’t value it then eventually there’ll be no-one left to ensure its heritage. It’ll be flattened to make room so that others can shape the earth as they see fit. If you’ve truly contributed to this world, then people will choose to remember you in their own way and may even contribute their own resources so that they feel a part of your tribute. If you’re happy and confident to say that you’ve helped the world progress during your time on earth; you can truly rest at peace. You can’t escape death, but in the meantime, it’s up to you whether you die a plutocrat or a pauper; though others may have greater grievances if you display the latter. Don’t count your coins. Make your coins count.
