Summary

This quote implies that true wealth and freedom lie in having control over our resources. If we are in command of our wealth, meaning that we make conscious decisions and choices about how to use and invest our resources, we attain both riches and freedom. However, if our wealth begins to control and dictate our actions, restricting our autonomy and trapping us in a cycle of materialism, then we are truly poor despite our material possessions. The quote underscores the importance of maintaining a sense of ownership and agency over our wealth for true prosperity and liberation.

I am thankful to have had these ten weeks of quiet to get ready. Now I have had them and have been kindly treated here. I expected my sentence and I believe it was just.
