MONEY CANNOT BUY THE BEST THINGS
-Money represents to many the best in life; yet many learn that money never buys the things for which they yearn. Pleasure represents to many the best in life—and many learn that some pleasures never please. flow few of the beautiful things of life are bought with money!
We cannot buy Love with money, though many a line imitation has been bought and sold. We cannot buy Happiness with money, though money ea'ir—while it lasts—buy the flattery of fawning sycoplumts; hut self-interest can nevci ho mistaken for the pure selflessness of friendship. We cannot buy Honour with money, though there are those who honour money more than anything else in the world.
We e mint hu.v Happiness with money, for happiness rests upon love, friendship, and honour, which all the wealth of the Indies cannot buy. And money cannot buy Peace at the dusk of life; for at the setting of the sun Peace rests not upon what we have, hut upon what we’ve done. There are beautiful things within touch of us all—but they cannot be bought and sold.
—AI. PRESTON STANLEY
