Summary

This quote suggests that one's perception of poverty is not solely based on material wealth. It asserts that a person can only be considered poor if they believe themselves to be so. However, it highlights that individuals who are already prosperous but consistently desire more, expressing their wants openly, reveal a mentality of neediness and impoverishment. In essence, it implies that one's mindset and attitude towards their circumstances contribute to their true state of poverty.
