“Real wealth is not so much what we have as what we are.”

Sterling W. Sill

This quote means that you can be the richest person but wealth  comes from being a good person. People confuse rich with wealth. Having money and being wealthy are two different types of things. Being wealthy is being happy with yourself and being a good person. Money doesn't determine whether you are wealthy. It’s by showing who you are as a person. That is where real wealth comes from. For example, the people with the least amount of money can be the wealthiest people because they are happy with what they have and are grateful. They are also really good and generous people even though they don’t have much to give.  In other words, wealth is not what we have but who we are.
