Gaining wealth

In the thirteenth chapter of Proverbs, much is given to wisdom and wealth.

One of the best verses is 11: "Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it."  It goes to show that great riches is only gained the best slowly, like the tortoise in the tale of the Tortoise and the Hare.

In verse 20, it speaks of one's companions.  Wise people hang out with wise people, while fools harm only themselves.

Verse 22 is another favorite: "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children . . ."
