First, our version of Wallace D. Wattles’ first point:
The Right to Be Rich
Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. Not one of us can rise to our greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless we have plenty of money. For to unfold the soul and to develop talent we must have many things to use. And we cannot have these things unless we have money to buy them. Each one of us develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things. Society is so organized that every one must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all individual advancement must be?the science of getting rich.
The object of all life is development. Every life, all life, has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining. Your right to life means your right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things necessary to your fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, your right to be rich.
In this book, we do not speak of riches in a figurative way. To be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little. No one ought to be satisfied with a little if she or he is capable of using and enjoying more.
The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life.
Every person should have all that can contribute to the power, elegance, beauty, and richness of life.
To be content with less is sinful.
The one who owns all one wants for the living of all the life one is capable of living is rich. Until you have plenty of money, you cannot have all you want. Life has advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness.
Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming. This desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature. We cannot help wanting to be all that we can be.
Success in life is becoming what you want to be. You can become what you want to be only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them. To understand the science of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.
And now…the original unedited piece:
The Right To Be Rich
WHATEVER may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.
A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich.
The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.
Man's right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich.
In this book, I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way; to be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little. No man ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.
The man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich; and no man who has not plenty of money can have all he wants. Life has advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness. Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming; this desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be. Success in life is becoming what you want to be; you can become what you want to be only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them. To understand the science of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.
As you can see…the professionally edited and formatted piece is a far better read and a more accessible study.
