Summary

This quote suggests that wealth or poverty is not just about one's financial status, but also a mindset or attitude. It implies that those who are born with a wealthy mindset will always carry it, regardless of their actual financial situation. Similarly, someone who was once poor but becomes wealthy may try to display their possessions, but their true background or nature cannot be convincingly hidden. The quote points to the idea that wealth is more than just material possessions, but also an innate perspective on life.

The glory of God is the living man, but the life of man is the vision of God', says St. Irenaeus, getting to the heart of what happens when man meets God on the mountain in the wilderness.
