Proverbs and money across cultures

Proverbs distill lived wisdom about money across traditions—from "money is a good servant but a bad master" to "wealth that comes easy goes easy"—and their persistence across cultures suggests they name real patterns people repeatedly discover. Treating them as observations rather than rules reveals what different societies learned about money's actual effects on character and community.
