What money can buy...

A bed but not SLEEP.
Books but not KNOWLEDGE.
Food but not APPETITE.
Finery but not BEAUTY.
A house but not A HOME.
Medicine but not HEALTH.
Luxuries but not COMFORT.
Pleasure but not HAPPINESS.
Heart but not LOVE...

Good food and rich clothes, all possible luxuries, are what you call happiness, but i believe that a state of being where one wishes for nothing is the greatest of all bliss. To be able to approach the greatest happiness, one must get used to being satisfied with little - Socrates
