"Detach yourself from the goods of the world. Love and practise poverty
of spirit: be content with what enables you to live a simple and sober
life. Otherwise, you will never be an apostle. (The Way, 631)
Rather than in not having, true poverty consists in being detached, in voluntarily renouncing one's dominion over things. That is why there are poor who are really rich. And vice-versa. (The Way, 632)
You haven't got the spirit of poverty if, when you are able to choose in such a way that your choice is not noticed, you do not select for yourself what is worst. (The Way, 635)"
